Alexander Isak Injury Latest as Arne Slot Prepares for Key Liverpool Absence

  • Dec 22, Liverpool striker Alexander Isak underwent surgery after an MRI scan on Sunday revealed a fibula fracture from his leg injury sustained in Saturday's 2-1 win at Tottenham, the club said.
  • Caught by a challenge from Micky van de Ven, Alexander Isak's foot was trapped as he scored during Saturday's North London win, forcing his substitution after about 11 minutes for Jeremie Frimpong.
  • The 26‑year‑old had only just begun to settle at Anfield, scoring two league goals in 10 appearances after joining Liverpool on September 1 for a �125m British‑record fee.
  • The injury leaves Arne Slot without his No.9 ahead of December 27, forcing Liverpool to rely on Hugo Ekitike, who has 11 goals for the term and five in his last three.
  • Liverpool FC said Isak's rehabilitation will continue at the AXA Training Centre with no timeframe yet on return, and Arne Slot is due to speak to media on Tuesday for a fuller update.
