BURNLEY (Reuters) -Liverpool fans were denied the chance to watch British record signing Alexander Isak in action as he was left out of the match-day squad for Sunday's 1-0 victory at Burnley, but manager Arne Slot said they will not have to wait long.

Slot confirmed the Swedish forward, signed on deadline day for 125 million pounds ($169.45 million) from Newcastle United, was still not up to speed after playing barely any minutes this season.
