Alexander Isak named in starting XI for Liverpool against Nottingham Forest after £125m man missed last five games through injury

The most expensive man in British football history, Alexander Isak, has returned to the Liverpool starting XI to face Nottingham Forest.

Sweden striker Isak has struggled for goals and game-time since his £125million move to the Premier League champions, scoring just once – in the Carabao Cup – and missing the last five matches.

He did not have a pre-season at all having forced through this transfer from Newcastle and the 26-year-old has struggled with fitness and niggly injuries ever since, with him being absent from the last month due to a groin problem.
