"Should Isak be sidelined for a significant period, it would be a major blow for a player who has struggled for both form and fitness since his £125 million ($166.18m) summer move from Newcastle United. His strike against Spurs was just his second for Arne Slot's side in the Premier League and followed a smart pass from fellow summer signing Florian Wirtz."
"I don't have any news on him but if a player scored and then gets injured and doesn't try to come back on the pitch, that's usually not a good thing but I cannot say anything more than that. It's just a gut feeling but nothing medical to say about it. I haven't spoken to him yet. It's a good thing that he scored. A good goal assisted by Florian Wirtz."
Alexander Isak left Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Tottenham after a heavy challenge and is thought to have injured his lower leg. An MRI scan is required to determine the severity of the problem. Isak had opened the scoring but was immediately substituted following the challenge. If sidelined for a significant period, the injury would be a major setback for a player who has struggled for form and fitness since his £125 million summer move from Newcastle United. Liverpool face added pressure with Cody Gakpo injured and Mohamed Salah away at the Africa Cup of Nations. Manager Arne Slot offered no medical update.
