"Liverpool fear Alexander Isak has sustained a significant lower leg injury after the striker was forced off in Saturday's 2-1 win over Tottenham. The Swede came off the bench to break the deadlock for Arne Slot's side, but was fouled by Micky van de Ven just after he got his shot away, and was ultimately unable to continue."
"The 26-year-old, who joined Liverpool from Newcastle in a record Premier League 125m deal in September, will undergo MRI scans on Sunday to determine the extent of the damage. It is understood those scans will determine an exact timeframe on how long Isak will be sidelined. Liverpool boss Slot is next due to speak at a news conference on Tuesday."
"We'll have to wait and see. But if a player scores and then gets injured and doesn't try to come back on the pitch, that's usually not a good thing."
Alexander Isak left Liverpool's 2-1 win over Tottenham early with a suspected serious lower leg injury after being fouled shortly after scoring to give Liverpool the lead. The Swede came off the bench and was ultimately unable to continue. The 26-year-old, who joined Liverpool from Newcastle in a record Premier League 125m deal in September, will undergo MRI scans on Sunday to assess the extent of the damage. The scans will set an exact timeframe for his absence. Manager Arne Slot said the club must wait for scan results and noted that a player who scores then suffers an injury and cannot return is usually a concern. Slot is due to speak at a news conference on Tuesday.
