Overview
- Liverpool announced Isak sustained an ankle injury with a fractured fibula and confirmed he has already undergone surgery.
- Manager Arne Slot described the tackle as reckless and said the layoff will last a few months, calling it a major blow for the team.
- Isak was hurt immediately after scoring the opener in the 2–1 win at Tottenham when his left foot twisted under a sliding challenge.
- With Mohamed Salah away at the Africa Cup of Nations and Cody Gakpo a doubt for Wolves, Liverpool’s remaining fit forwards are Hugo Ekitiké and Federico Chiesa, according to AFP.
- Reporting in England suggests Liverpool are considering January options, including Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo or recalling Harvey Elliott from loan, though no decisions have been announced.
