Speaking on the eve of the fixture, Arne Slot confirmed that while Isak won't start in Paris, he could feature if needed.He said: "He finished close to a week of team training sessions; he can play a part, otherwise I wouldn't take him."I didn't take him to the Etihad because we felt he wasn't able to get a performance yet. We think we can get a performance out of him now, but not to start."Nevertheless, Liverpool will be without Alisson Becker, Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo, Stefan Bajcetic and Giovanni Leoni for the fixture.

Alisson is expected to return before the end of the season, but Bradley, Endo, Bajcetic and Leoni are unlikely to make a comeback until next season.Meanwhile, Bradley Barcola, Fabian Ruiz and Quentin Ndjantou are all expected to miss out for PSG.Arne Slot and Alexander Isak during a Liverpool training session (Image: Getty Images)Even though the French side have enjoyed more rest than their Premier League counterparts, Barcola is likely to be absent despite being back in full training.Luis Enrique explained: "If he’s [Barcola] still unwell, he won’t play tomorrow. He’ll tell us when he’s ready.

He’s lacking a little confidence."We're going to try to have the ball more than Liverpool, a very good team with quality players and a very good coach. We're aware of the difficulty, but we're motivated.
