"The striker was hurt in a challenge from Micky van de Ven in the act of scoring the opening goal in the 2-1 victory and limped off the pitch. A statement on liverpoolfc.com read: "After diagnosis, an operation was completed today on an ankle injury that included a fibula fracture. "Isak's rehabilitation will now continue at the AXA Training Centre, with no timeframe yet placed on his return.""
"Former Reds defender Carragher said on Sky Sports: "It's a huge blow because I think Liverpool were actually one attacker short anyway. "There's a lot been made about a lot of the challenges in the game from Tottenham players and a lot of them weren't clever. I've put myself in Van de Ven's position and that's a challenge I'd probably make. "He's trying to block it, it's just the follow through.""

An operation was completed and Isak's rehabilitation will continue at the AXA Training Centre with no timeframe placed on his return. Jamie Carragher defended Van de Ven's challenge as a necessary attempt to block the shot and described the injury as bad luck while noting Isak's emerging quality. Carragher suggested the injury is unlikely to force significant January signings, citing existing wide options.
