Liverpool are braced to be without Alexander Isak for several months. Isak was forced out of action in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Tottenham shortly after he had opened the scoring due to a collision with Micky van de Ven.

He underwent a scan on Sunday following the Reds’ return from the capital to ascertain the extent of the problem amid concerns he suffered a broken leg. If the Premier League champions’ worst fears are confirmed, Isak’s lay-off period will depend on the severity of the fracture and any ligament damage..

Isak has already encountered fitness issues since making a £125 million British transfer record move from Newcastle United on deadline day. He missed four games for Arne Slot’s side with an adductor problem while enduring a slow start to life at Anfield with just three goals in 16 outings.
