Liverpool secured a crucial victory against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, winning 2-1. The match was notable for Tottenham receiving two red cards. Liverpool has had a challenging season, facing ongoing questions regarding Mohamed Salah and the future of manager Arne Slot.
Now, Liverpool faces another issue as star striker Alexander Isak sustained an injury while attempting a shot during the match against Tottenham.
According to David Ornstein from The Athletic, there are concerns that Isak may have a “significant injury” to his lower leg. He is scheduled for MRI testing to assess the injury’s severity.
Although Isak’s start at Liverpool hasn’t been as strong as expected following his transfer from Newcastle United, he is considered one of the top strikers globally. Liverpool also acquired Hugo Ekitike this past summer, who has been performing well. As a result, losing Isak for a few games may not significantly impact Liverpool’s performance.
However, a longer absence for Isak could hinder Liverpool, who are already struggling to keep pace with title contenders Arsenal and Manchester City. Additionally, Isak has had a history of injuries, raising concerns about further complications. The season continues to present challenges for Liverpool as they seek to regroup.
