Thank you all reds and everyone else for the kind messages, it does not go unnoticed [red heart emoji] #YNWA."The Swedish international has faced a challenging spell since his switch to Anfield from Newcastle United, sitting out the Magpies' pre-season with a minor thigh problem before refusing to train with Eddie Howe's squad to push through his transfer.Isak has managed just two goals and provided one assist across 10 Premier League outings this campaign, adding one more strike in the Carabao Cup triumph over Southampton, though he's yet to register in the Champions League.The British record signing has been plagued by fitness issues, and this latest blow is a significant setback.When asked about Isak's injury, Reds boss Arne Slot remained hopeful that he'd see the striker before the end of the season."It's going to be a long injury, for a couple of months, so that's a big, big disappointment for him and, of course, also for us," he said.

"It's a huge blow because I think Liverpool were actually one attacker short anyway," he said."There's a lot been made about a lot of the challenges in the game from Tottenham players and a lot of them weren't clever. I put myself in Van de Ven's position and that's a challenge I'd probably make."He's trying to block it - it's just the follow through.

I don't know where else anyone thinks his foot's going to go."He has to make that challenge. You can't let the striker just get a shot away in that situation."It's just really bad luck for Isak.
