Liverpool are awaiting scan results they fear will confirm record signing Alexander Isak has suffered a broken leg after he was injured in their win against Tottenham, reports said Yesterday.
The Sweden forward was hurt in the act of scoring the opening goal in Saturday’s 2-1 victory in London after a sliding challenge from Spurs defender Micky van der Ven.
Isak, 26, who had come on as a second-half substitute, was unable to celebrate with his teammates and left the pitch in considerable distress.
Immediately after the game Liverpool boss Arne Slot admitted the injury was “not a good thing”.
“If a player doesn’t even try to come back, that is usually not a good thing but I cannot say anything more than that,” he said.
“That is just gut feeling and nothing medical... let’s not be too negative yet. We don’t know yet. Let’s hope he is back with us soon.”
The Athletic and Sky Sports reported Yesterday that Liverpool fear Isak has broken his leg, which would mean a lengthy period on the sidelines.
