Liverpool secured a crucial win on Saturday against Tottenham Hotspur, overcoming the Spurs, who had two players sent off, with a score of 2-1. The season has been challenging for Liverpool, overshadowed by the ongoing Mohamed Salah situation and questions surrounding manager Arne Slot’s future.
Now, Liverpool faces a new concern as star striker Alexander Isak sustained an injury while attempting to shoot during the match against Tottenham.
According to David Ornstein from The Athletic, there are worries that Isak may have suffered a “significant injury” to his lower leg, and he is scheduled for an MRI to assess the severity of the injury.
While Isak has not made a strong start since his transfer from Newcastle United, his talent as a striker is widely recognized. Liverpool also signed Hugo Ekitike this summer, who has already shown better performance than Isak. Thus, losing Isak for a few matches may not severely impact the team.
However, if Isak faces a longer recovery period, it could hinder Liverpool’s efforts, as they are currently struggling to keep up with title contenders like Arsenal and Manchester City. Additionally, Isak’s history of injuries raises concerns about further complications. The season continues to present challenges for Liverpool as they try to regroup.
