"Liverpool are bracing themselves for bad news after Alexander Isak suffered what is believed to be a significant lower leg injury during Saturday's 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur. The £125 million British-record signing is expected to face an extended spell on the sidelines, with the club awaiting MRI scan results before confirming the extent of the damage. The mood inside Anfield is said to be grim."
"Isak, 26, picked up the injury while scoring his side's opener in the 56th minute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium-his second Premier League goal of the season. In the process of converting Florian Wirtz's assist, Isak's leg was caught between Micky van de Ven's as the defender lunged desperately to block the strike. The challenge went unpunished despite referee John Brooks issuing red cards to Spurs duo Xavi Simons earlier in the game, as well as a second yellow to Cristian Romero later on."
Alexander Isak suffered a significant lower-leg injury while scoring in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Tottenham, and MRI results are awaited to determine the extent. The £125 million British-record signing was hurt when his leg was caught between Micky van de Ven's as the defender lunged to block his 56th-minute strike. Isak received prolonged on-field treatment and was helped off in considerable discomfort. Club medics have reportedly ruled out an ACL tear but remain concerned the tackle caused a serious lower-leg problem that could sideline him for an extended period. Isak had earlier missed nearly a month with a groin issue and has struggled to gain momentum at Liverpool.
