Liverpool's Alexander Isak injured during Tottenham match

 Liverpool fear Alexander Isak has sustained a significant lower leg injury after the striker was forced off in Saturday's 2-1 win over Tottenham.

The Swede came off the bench to break the deadlock for Arne Slot's side, but was challenged by Micky van de Ven just after he got his shot away, and was ultimately unable to continue.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has predicted Alexander Isak will “be OK” after the big-money striker limped off injured against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Reds’ summer signing netted just the third goal of what has been an incredibly slow start to life at Anfield in Saturday’s chaotic 2–1 victory over Tottenham, but went down gripping his knee in the immediate aftermath of scoring following a challenge from Micky van de Ven.

According to The Athletic's OrnsteinLiverpool are fearful that striker Isak has suffered a 'significant' leg injury following their win over Tottenham on Saturday. The Reds are waiting for scan results following the incident, but there is a concern at the extent of the damage to his lower leg.

Ornstein also reported that with Mohamed Salah jetting off to the African Cup of Nations, this period was earmarked as a time when Isak was able to get a run in the side, along with Hugo Ekitike. Arne Slot will have to manage Ekitike carefully, with limited options in attack with Isak on the treatment table.

It's been claimed by journalist Mike Keegan that Liverpool have ruled out the possibility of it being ACL damage for Isak, but it appears to be a significant injury nonetheless. Read More...
