Newcastle United supporters have poured onto social media after former striker Alexander Isak suffered a potentially serious injury during Liverpool’s Premier League clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.The 26-year-old forward had just opened the scoring for Liverpool after coming off the bench when he was caught late by defender Micky van de Ven and visibly hurt on the field.Sky Sports News reports that initial scans could confirm a broken leg, a diagnosis that would keep Isak out for several months — a huge blow for Liverpool.🩹 Fans React Dramatically
Rather than showing sympathy, many Newcastle fans celebrated the unfortunate news online, pointing to Isak’s turbulent summer exit from St James’ Park and his struggles since moving to Anfield.Among the trending responses:One fan joked that the only disappointment was that both legs weren’t injured.Another labelled the setback as “karma” after his contentious transfer away from Newcastle.Some even mocked the striker’s limp off the pitch as an ironic new celebration.The atmosphere around the club is tense. Liverpool manager Arne Slot faces a major selection headache, especially with Mohamed Salah away at the Africa Cup of Nations and other attacking options already limited by injuries.📊 What This Means for Liverpool
Reports from multiple outlets suggest that if the injury is confirmed as a fracture, Isak will miss a large chunk of the season, further disrupting his debut campaign at Anfield — a campaign already hampered by fitness issues and adaptation struggles after his big-money move from Newcastle.
