Liverpool have been hit with alarming news after star striker Alexander Isak was forced off injured during their 2–1 win over Tottenham Hotspur — a moment that could drastically reshape the Reds’ plans this winter.
The Sweden international had just opened the scoring when he went down under a challenge from Spurs defender Micky van de Ven. Although Isak managed to leave the pitch on his own, Liverpool immediately sent him for an MRI scan on Monday, with early indications pointing to a significant lower-leg injury that could sideline him for months, not weeks.
This setback comes at a really tense time for Liverpool’s attack. Not only is Isak’s availability now in doubt, but Mohamed Salah is away at the Africa Cup of Nations, and Cody Gakpo is also out injured — leaving the Reds dangerously thin in forward areas.
With that in mind, Liverpool are likely to step up transfer plans in January — and one name near the top of their list is Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo. The 25-year-old forward reportedly has a £65 million release clause that’s only active during the first two weeks of January, meaning Liverpool could move early to secure his signature and bolster their options.
Semenyo has impressed in recent months with goals and pace, and the Ghana international is seen as a player who could help ease the pressure up front while Liverpool cope with reduced firepower.
Until the full scan results arrive, Liverpool fans will be nervously waiting — but behind the scenes, it looks like the club is already bracing for impact in the winter window. ⚠️
