Isak has missed the last four matches due to a groin injury, but he returned to training on Friday and is expected to be named on the bench for this game.
“He will train for the first time today (Friday) with the team again, after being three weeks out,” Slot told reporters.
Slot emphasized the importance of patience regarding Isak’s readiness as he won’t be fully match fit yet. Isak is the only player returning for this fixture.
