In a dramatic twist at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Alexander Isak went from hero to heartache in a matter of moments. The Swedish striker had just scored to put Liverpool ahead in their Premier League clash, only for the joy to be cut short when he picked up a serious injury and had to be substituted off immediately.
The injury has since been confirmed as a fractured leg, with scans revealing damage that included a break to his fibula. Isak underwent surgery this week, and Liverpool have ruled him out for an extended period — potentially several months — as he begins a long rehabilitation process.
Manager Arne Slot described the setback as a huge blow, both for the striker personally and for the Reds’ campaign, especially given the timing of the injury as Isak was finding form following his record-breaking move from Newcastle.
Meanwhile, Spurs defender Micky van de Ven, whose challenge led to the injury, has stated there was no malicious intent and has since reached out to Isak.
Despite the devastation of losing their star forward, Isak took to social media to thank fans for their support and vowed to work tirelessly on his recovery, promising to return stronger.
