"The most injuries we have are not related to overloading. When you look at Alex's injury, it has nothing to do with overloading the player. It's the same with Wataru Endo. Of course, there are one or two that might have to do with overloading - Cody Gakpo has a muscle and the same with Joe Gomez. Yeah, [Isak's injury] was a reckless challenge. I've said a lot about the tackle of Xavi Simons, which for me was completely unintentional. I don't think you will ever get an injury out of a tackle like that. But the tackle from Van de Ven, if you make a tackle like that 10 times, 10 times there is a chance the player gets a serious injury."
""It's been a really challenging period for him," Slot added. "You join a new club and you are very excited. You want to show immediately all the qualities you have. But that was simply impossible with him because you haven't trained"
Alexander Isak fractured his fibula when his ankle buckled while scoring Liverpool's opener in a 2-1 win over Tottenham. The injury followed a sliding challenge by Micky van de Ven, which Liverpool manager Arne Slot described as reckless and likely to cause serious harm. Liverpool confirmed a fractured fibula and estimated Isak would be out for a couple of months. Slot said most club injuries are not due to overloading, while noting separate muscle problems for Cody Gakpo and Joe Gomez. Slot acknowledged Isak's difficult start after his move from Newcastle but remained confident he can still make an impact this season.
