He is expected to be out for 1-2 weeks approximately.This is a frustrating setback for the player, who was open about his battles this season after scoring against Crystal Palace last weekend.“For sure, I’ve been battling getting back to full fitness and scoring a goal is probably the best way to finding form again, I’m really happy.”“I don’t know but I felt like that shot [from Mac Allister] wasn’t going in, I kind of intercepted it and it became a good touch and I managed to put it in the back of the net.”Alexander Isak is set to miss Liverpool vs Man United.
