"The Swedish international, who arrived at Anfield for a staggering 125 million in the summer scored the opening goal for Liverpool in the 56th minute. However, the goal came at a massive cost. Following a heavy challenge from Micky van de Ven, Isak was seen clutching his lower leg in visible agony and had to be assisted off the pitch by medical staff."
"The gravity of the situation has been confirmed by The Athletic's David Ornstein. Taking to X, Ornstein provided a worrying injury update: Alexander Isak set for period on sidelines with suspected leg break from challenge in Liverpool win at Spurs. #LFC yet to comment on severity but scans poised to confirm fears of fracture to left side; recovery time typically a few months."
"While the club is officially awaiting final scan results, the suspected leg break terminology suggests Isak will not return until well into the spring of 2026. For a player who was just beginning to find his feet at Anfield, the timing, occurring exactly as he scored his second Premier League goal, is nothing short of cruel.

Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-1 in North London, but the win was overshadowed by Alexander Isak suffering a suspected leg break. Isak, a £125 million record signing, scored the opening goal in the 56th minute before a heavy challenge from Micky van de Ven left him clutching his lower leg and requiring assistance off the pitch. Scans are poised to confirm fears of a fracture to Isak's left side; recovery typically takes a few months. The suspected injury could sideline Isak until spring 2026, exacerbating Liverpool's stretched attacking options and creating an opportunity for Federico Chiesa.
