Wissa, who replaced Isak at Newcastle, played international matches for Congo immediately after joining the club, but is now injured. This experience has influenced Tomasson's approach to Isak's training.

"We can't change the situation with Isak," Tomasson said. "I'm happy that Liverpool is handling his situation in the same way I would have." The coach explained that they need a healthy Isak for the upcoming months, and Liverpool's approach aligns with their own plans.

Isak's current status is still in the preseason phase, but Tomasson noted that he looks better than a month ago and made an excellent assist in a recent match against Chelsea. However, the coach doesn't predict a specific timeline for Isak's full recovery.

Tomasson emphasized the importance of gradually increasing playing time for Isak, as is typical in preseason. This process involves gradually increasing the duration of matches from 45 minutes to 90 minutes over several weeks. The exact timeline depends on individual progress and data from the club regarding the player's physical condition.

The coach believes Isak is doing well in his preseason, taking into account the challenges of adapting to a new team and playing competitive matches. Tomasson praises Isak's skill level, citing his top-class movement on the field.
