Arne Slot has slammed Micky van de Ven over Alexander Isak’s injury. “But the tackle of Van de Ven, if you make a tackle like that 10 times, 10 times there is a serious chance the player gets a serious injury.” Although Isak is expected to spend a significant period out of action, the Liverpool head coach is confident of him being involved later in the campaign.

“I am confident he can play a part in the season,” added Slot. “He joined a new club, he was very excited and you want to show immediately all the qualities that you have.

“We always knew it would take him time and that is why he is so unlucky that he is now injured. “We all saw with his goal at West Ham, with this goal [against Spurs], that he got closer and closer to the player he was last season at Newcastle.”
