While striking the ball, the Swedish striker was clattered into by Spurs defender Micky van de Ven and played no further part in the game, leaving Liverpool extremely concerned.Arne Slot refused to comment on the severity of Isak's injury after Saturday's game, but he admitted it's "never good when a player has to come off." Losing the £125 million ($167 million) striker for an extended period of time would be a huge blow for the Reds.According to The Athletic, Liverpool believes Isak has suffered a suspected broken leg.

The Reds are concerned about the condition of the player's lower left leg.Liverpool is yet to discover the true extent of Isak's injury. But if he has suffered a broken leg, he is likely to be out of action for at least a few months, perhaps more.Slot was asked about the fitness of Isak, Conor Bradley, and Jeremie Frimpong after the win at Tottenham.

Bradley and Frimpong were also taken out of the game after picking up injuries, although the latter's substitution was down to him being on a yellow card."We'll have to wait and see," Slot told the BBC. The other two (Isak and Bradley), we'll have to wait and see.
