In the lineup, Issahaku features on the right side of a front three alongside Leeds United's Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter.
The team also includes Viktor Johansson in goal, with a defensive quartet consisting of Kyle Walker-Peters, Wesley Hoedt, Jacob Greaves, and Leif Davis.
The midfield is comprised of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Blackburn Rovers’ Sammie Szmodics, and Norwich City’s Gabriel Sara.
Meanwhile, Leicester City has reportedly activated the €17 million buy option clause to secure Issahaku's permanent transfer.
This move is set to benefit Issahaku's first club, Steadfast FC, co-owned by Ghanaian politician Haruna Iddirsu, which is expected to receive €7.9 million from the transfer fee.
Steadfast FC initially sold the winger to Sporting Lisbon in 2022 for $1.5 million, with a 50% sell-on clause included in his contract.
