Overview
- Isak scored the opener at Tottenham before a sliding challenge from Micky van de Ven left him in clear pain, with Liverpool medics helping him off after brief on‑field treatment.
- Multiple outlets report early indications point to an injury in the lower leg rather than the knee, though the precise diagnosis remains unconfirmed.
- Liverpool arranged MRI scans in the immediate aftermath of the match and are awaiting results, with head coach Arne Slot cautioning that the initial signs were not encouraging.
- Club staff were surprised the challenge drew no punishment in a game that saw other Tottenham players sent off, according to reports.
- A lengthy absence would bite into a thin attack as Mohamed Salah is at the Africa Cup of Nations, Cody Gakpo is injured and Dominik Szoboszlai is suspended for the next league match, compounding Isak’s stop‑start debut season after a £125m move.
