In the pre-match press conference of the Premier League, Liverpool coach Slott talked about the topic of Isaac and implored the outside world to "give him some more time."
Sloter said: "After three weeks of absence, Isaac will resume training with the team. I know three weeks ago I said that his 'preseason' was over and he could start to evaluate his status.
"But now I have to revise that statement. Just three weeks of rehab wasn't enough to get him back to where he was three weeks ago. While our rehab team does a fantastic job, rehab is no substitute for actual games or full team training.
"No matter how hard we try to simulate actual combat, we will never be able to completely replicate it. So I must emphasize again: please give him some time."
