The Athletic<\/a> claims Isak has suffered a suspected lower leg injury.<\/p>\nAdvertisement<\/p>\n
Yet it’s too early to say how severe Isak’s injury is. Liverpool fans will be waiting anxiously for news over the next 48 hours.<\/p>\n
Liverpool has now won three consecutive games in all competitions. Hugo Ekitike also scored on Saturday before Richarlison pulled one back late on to ensure a nervy end in London. Xavi Simons and Cristian Romero were both sent off for Spurs.<\/p>\n

Despite the goals and red cards at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the big talking point from Saturday’s game was Isak’s injury.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t have any news on him, but if a player scores, gets injured, and doesn\u2019t come back on the pitch or doesn\u2019t try to come back, it\u2019s usually not a good thing,” Slot said when asked about the striker’s condition.<\/p>\n
“I cannot say anything more than that. That is just a gut feeling and nothing more than that. Nothing medical to say about it.<\/p>\n
“I haven\u2019t spoken to him about it yet, but it\u2019s a good thing he scored, a good goal assisted by Florian Wirtz. Let\u2019s not be too negative yet. We don\u2019t know yet. Let\u2019s hope Alex is back with us soon, but it is difficult to say.”<\/p>\n

Speaking of Wirtz, he’s now starting to look like one of Liverpool’s most important players after a slow start to life on Merseyside. He’s now got six assists to his name as a Liverpool player, with three of those coming in his last five appearances.<\/p>\n
Wirtz was asked about Isak’s injury while speaking to LFC TV. He said: “With Alex it\u2019s a bit unlucky, I hope it\u2019s not too bad, but we have to wait for that.”<\/p>\n
Conor Bradley was also forced out of Saturday’s game with an injury, while Jeremie Frimpong was taken off late on. The latter’s withdrawal was due to him being on a yellow card rather than the bloody injury he suffered to his face late in the game.<\/p>\n
Wirtz added: “I think the others (Bradley and Frimpong) are not too bad, but hopefully Alex will be back soon.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s believed Alexander Isak may have injured his lower leg, rather than his knee, during the 2-1 victory…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":645158,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[9261,198057,1121,748,8928,22087,393,2912,1676,4884,5759,18519,198056,179,22088,22789,198055,1368,21608,16,15,12813],"class_list":{"0":"post-645157","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-alexander-isak","9":"tag-anterior-cruciate-ligament","10":"tag-arne-slot","11":"tag-britain","12":"tag-conor-bradley","13":"tag-cristian-romero","14":"tag-england","15":"tag-florian-wirtz","16":"tag-gary-neville","17":"tag-great-britain","18":"tag-hugo-ekitike","19":"tag-jeremie-frimpong","20":"tag-leg-injury","21":"tag-liverpool","22":"tag-micky-van-de-ven","23":"tag-richarlison","24":"tag-ruptured-acl","25":"tag-tottenham","26":"tag-tottenham-hotspur-stadium","27":"tag-uk","28":"tag-united-kingdom","29":"tag-xavi-simons"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115754568846629711","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=645157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/645158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=645157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=645157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=645157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
