Liverpool's quest for Champions League glory has received a significant boost ahead of their blockbuster quarterfinal clash with Paris Saint-Germain. Star striker Alexander Isak has been named in the squad for Wednesday's first leg in Paris, marking a major step in his recovery from a serious injury.

Isak, who traveled with the team after participating in Tuesday's training session, is poised to make his long-awaited return to action. The Swedish international underwent surgery in late December for a broken ankle and fibula, sidelining him during a crucial period of the season.

His comeback is a timely one for Jurgen Klopp's side. Liverpool broke the British transfer record to secure Isak's services from Newcastle United for £125 million in the offseason, a move that signaled their ambition. While his start at Anfield was slower than hoped—with three goals in 16 appearances before the injury—his proven pedigree, highlighted by 62 goals in 109 matches for Newcastle, offers a potent attacking threat for the European run-in.

This return is not just a boost for Liverpool; it's also promising news for the Swedish national team as they build towards the next World Cup, where a partnership with Arsenal's Viktor Gyökeres could be formidable. For now, all eyes will be on Parc des Princes to see if Isak can make an immediate impact on one of football's biggest stages.
