Alexander Isak suffers worrying injury when scoring for Liverpool at Tottenham

Isak has had a stop-start beginning to his career at Anfield, after a summer saga that dragged on until he finally made the switch from Newcastle United. That move meant he didn't have a full pre-season, and given the way Liverpool have struggled in general, it has been a challenge for Arne Slot to ease him into action.

That was seen as an opportunity to kick on, though he has been given just the one league start in the time since he scored in that game. I think I said back then that we signed him for six years, not for three months, and I’ve tried to make clear from the start how difficult the first few months would be for him.

I assume he also had spells in his career when he didn’t score for a few games in a row. But I have no doubt that eventually he will become the player we signed him to be." It remains to be seen just how serious the injury is, with Isak seen in quite some discomfort as he was forced off, and it could delay his impact even further.
