A lengthy lay-off now would not have been on Arne Slot's Christmas wishlist, just as his new signing was starting to settle.It would further accentuate Liverpool's problems in attacking depth as Mohamed Salah could miss over a month's worth of action whilst representing Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations, meanwhile Cody Gakpo is also currently sidelined with injury.The only solace for Slot is another of his summer signings, Hugo Ekitike, scored his fifth goal in his last three Premier League appearances against Spurs.Answering on Isak after the final whistle, Slot had said: "I don’t have any news on him. But if a player scores and then gets injured, and doesn’t come back on the pitch, doesn’t try to come back - which is what Conor Bradley tried to do for example but I had to take him off as well because he couldn’t go on."But if a player doesn’t even try to come back, that is usually not a good thing.

I haven’t spoken to him about it yet."It’s a good thing that he scored. Wasn’t perfect today, especially not in the last 10 minutes but in the meantime we pick up points and I see the team developing in a way I want to see."Let’s not be too negative yet.
