Van de Ven Reveals Apology as Liverpool’s Isak Faces Months Out After Surgery

Arne Slot expresses confidence the record signing will play again this season.

Overview

  • The Sweden striker sustained a fractured fibula and ankle damage while scoring in a 2-1 win at Tottenham and has since undergone surgery.
  • Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven said he texted an apology for the sliding block and that Alexander Isak replied appreciatively.
  • Liverpool expect a layoff of a couple of months, with head coach Arne Slot stating he is confident Isak will feature before the campaign ends.
  • Isak joined for about £125m on 1 September after missing pre-season and has three goals and one assist in 16 appearances.
  • Former Man City adviser Stefan Borson told Football Insider that £100m-plus deals often underdeliver and argued Liverpool have effectively lost most of a season from the signing.
