Liverpool boss Arne Slot has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Champions League opener against Atletico Madrid at Anfield (20:00 BST).

Slot said there is "definitely a chance" £125m signing Alexander Isak could make his Liverpool debut on Wednesday as he is in the squad but he is "100% sure he will not play 90 minutes".

Pushed on whether the Sweden striker could start, he added: "The only thing we're sure of is he will not play 90."

Curtis Jones will return to training on Wednesday and Slot said the hope is he will be ready to face Everton on Saturday.

On the Reds' impressive start to the season: "We are far above my expectations during the summer. We all know what happened this summer and for us to be on 12 points from these fixtures is so much more than I expected, especially after so many changes in our group. I think we can do better but we're not going to face Newcastle away and Arsenal at home every time."

Slot said playing Atletico to begin their European campaign is "a difficult one", adding: "They have had so many years with Diego Simeone and even able to win the league twice when you face Real Madrid and Barcelona. They are a team that is a difficult one to play against because of their mentality, team performance and quality. Last time I faced them, I still wake up at night sometimes thinking about it."

How can Andy Robertson help new left-back Milos Kerkez? "Brilliantly well. I think he played well [against Burnley]. Milos started the game not brilliantly well but well, and we had to take him off. Then you had Andy Robertson to replace him and he came in like he'd never been doing anything else."

On Jeremie Frimpong returning from injury off the bench on Sunday against the Clarets: "In every position we have a lot of competition and he can play in many positions. Let's see if if he plays [on Wednesday] and where he's going to play."
