"Liverpool fear Alexander Isak may have suffered a significant lower leg injury after the striker was forced off during Saturday's 2-1 Premier League win over Tottenham. The Sweden international came on as a substitute and broke the deadlock for Arne Slot's side, but was caught by Micky van de Ven immediately after striking the ball. Isak attempted to continue but was unable to play on and was eventually withdrawn."
"The 26-year-old, who joined Liverpool from Newcastle in a club-record £125m deal in September, is scheduled to undergo MRI scans on Sunday to assess the extent of the injury. Those tests are expected to determine how long he could be sidelined. Liverpool head coach Slot will next speak publicly at his scheduled news conference on Tuesday. Speaking immediately after the match, he acknowledged concern over the forward's condition."
Alexander Isak scored the opener for Liverpool against Tottenham but appeared to sustain a significant lower-leg injury after a challenge from Micky van de Ven and was withdrawn. The 26-year-old is scheduled for MRI scans to assess the extent of the damage and to determine how long he might be sidelined. Head coach Arne Slot expressed concern and will address the situation at his next news conference on Tuesday. Isak joined Liverpool from Newcastle in a club-record £125m move and has scored twice in ten Premier League appearances this season. Hugo Ekitike is expected to lead the line if Isak is unavailable.
