Overview
- Liverpool said Isak underwent an operation on Monday for an ankle injury that included a fibula fracture and will continue rehabilitation at the AXA Training Centre with no return date set.
- The forward was hurt as he scored in the 2-1 win at Spurs when Micky van de Ven’s sliding block caught his leg, and he was substituted immediately.
- Speaking Tuesday, Slot described the challenge as reckless and estimated Isak will be out for a couple of months.
- The absence deepens Liverpool’s attacking shortage with Mohamed Salah at the Africa Cup of Nations and Cody Gakpo not yet ready to return, leaving Hugo Ekitike and the little‑used Federico Chiesa as senior options.
- Coverage in the UK links Liverpool with a possible January move for Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo, though no deal has been agreed.
