"The league champions are waiting on the results of an MRI scan after the 125m man was injured against Tottenham in the Premier League clash on Saturday night. The 26-year-old sustained the problem while scoring the opener against Spurs his second league goal of an already injury-hit debut season in the 2-1 win after defender Micky van de Ven slid across and caught his leg as the striker planted it on the floor."
"Many of the Liverpool staff were puzzled as to why the challenge did not merit a further look from the video assistant referee during a match in which Tottenham had two other players sent off. Immediately after the game, Liverpool's head coach Arne Slot admitted the injury was not a good thing. If a player doesn't even try to come back, that is usually not a good thing but I cannot say anything more than that, he said."
Alexander Isak suffered a leg injury while scoring the opener against Tottenham and Liverpool are awaiting MRI results to determine the severity. The 26-year-old was injured when defender Micky van de Ven slid across and caught his leg as Isak planted it, after 11 minutes on the pitch as a half-time substitute. Many Liverpool staff questioned why the challenge did not receive a VAR review. Head coach Arne Slot described the situation as worrying but offered no medical assessment. Isak has endured an injury-hit debut season, missing pre-season and suffering a troublesome groin issue while scoring sparingly for the club. His likely extended absence reduces Liverpool's forward options while Mohamed Salah is at the Africa Cup of Nations.
