There are concerns that Alexander Isak suffered a significant lower-leg injury during Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Tottenham on Saturday, Sky Sports News understands.
Liverpool and Isak are still awaiting an MRI scan on the injury that was suffered when Isak scored the opener at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Micky van de Ven slid into Isak as he attempted to prevent the striker from scoring, leaving Isak unable to celebrate as he immediately signalled for medical attention.
A stretcher was brought onto the pitch but Isak eventually left the field with the help of Liverpool’s medical staff.
The Sweden international was sidelined for five games from October to November with a groin injury and the latest setback will only compound his disjointed start to life in Liverpool since completing his record-breaking £125m move from Newcastle this summer.
Isak has scored just three goals across 16 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool.
