Arne Slot‘s one Christmas “wish” at Liverpool is for record signing Alexander Isak to recover “as quickly as possible” from injury. Isak’s broken leg in last Saturday’s 2-1 victory away to Tottenham was a cruel blow, not least because he picked up the injury while scoring the opening goal.

Isak fractured his fibula and required surgery to repair damage to his ankle, in a blow to the player and the club as he looked to turn a corner at Anfield. • READ: Isak “gutted” after serious injury – “I will be back as soon as I can” Speaking in the matchday programme ahead of Liverpool’s visit of Wolves in the Premier League, Slot made it clear how desperate he is for Isak to make a swift recovery. “This has been one of the stories of our season so far and we have no option but to cope and this means finding solutions and, most importantly, sticking together on and off the pitch.” Isak to return as Liverpool’s Champions League-winning hero?
