Alexander Isak Undergoes Surgery for Leg Fracture
Alexander Isak has suffered a fracture in his left leg and has undergone surgery, Liverpool has confirmed.
The club has not yet provided a timeline for Isak's recovery, but the Swedish striker is expected to be sidelined for at least several months.
Liverpool stated that the 26-year-old "successfully underwent surgery" for an "ankle injury that included a fibula fracture."
Isak came off the bench to score for Arne Slot's side during their match against Tottenham on Saturday, but he was injured following a challenge from Micky van de Ven immediately after taking his shot. He was visibly in pain and required assistance from medical staff to leave the pitch.
The forward, who joined Liverpool for a Premier League record fee of £125 million this summer, has netted three goals in 16 appearances since transferring from Newcastle in September.
Slot is scheduled to address the media at his press conference on Tuesday morning at 09:00 GMT.
