Liverpool Buoyed by Positive Early Signs in Alexander Isak’s Ankle Recovery

Liverpool plan a cautious rehab despite optimism about a return within a couple of months.

Overview

  • Internal reports cited by CaughtOffside say Isak’s operation went as planned with minimal swelling and an encouraging immediate response.
  • Isak sustained a fractured fibula with ankle involvement against Tottenham and has already undergone surgery.
  • Arne Slot has suggested a layoff of a couple of months, though other reporting indicates the absence could extend to several months with no firm date set.
  • Injury analyst Ben Dinnery warned that ankle-related fractures often have non-linear recoveries and surgery can complicate typical timelines.
  • Liverpool intend to prioritize long-term fitness in his rehabilitation and could assess short-term attacking cover in the transfer window.
