Alexander Isak sustained a serious-looking harm within the movement of scoring in opposition to Tottenham, and Arne Slot provided what he may after full-time.
One factor Liverpool didn’t want from their journey to Tottenham was extra accidents, however fortune was not on Slot’s aspect in that respect.
Within the movement of scoring the opener, Isak’s left leg was caught in a sliding problem from Micky van de Ven, and there was no celebration as he instantly clutched at his leg.
The stretcher was referred to as, however the No. 9 was ultimately assisted off the pitch and down the tunnel, simply quarter-hour after changing Conor Bradley at halftime.
Talking after the match, Slot couldn’t supply a concrete replace on Isak, saying: “I don’t have any information on him.
“But when a participant scores after which will get injured and doesn’t attempt to come again on the pitch, that’s often not an excellent factor.
“I can not say any greater than that, it’s only a intestine feeling, nothing medical to say about it.”
Requested if Isak had any feeling on the severity of the harm, Slot added: “I haven’t spoken to him about that but.
“But it surely’s an excellent factor that he scored, an excellent objective!”
Slot added that it’s a “wait and see” state of affairs for Isak and Conor Bradley, who the Swede changed at half time, however he doesn’t wish to be “too unfavourable” on his striker’s prognosis.
“Let’s not be too unfavourable but, we don’t know but (the severity), let’s hope he’s again with us quickly, however troublesome to say it to you now,” Slot mentioned.
Liverpool may very well be with out 8 gamers vs. Wolves
Liverpool are already with out Joe Gomez, Giovanni Leoni, Wataru Endo and Cody Gakpo because of harm, and Mohamed Salah is absent as a result of Africa Cup of Nations.
Dominik Szoboszlai can even miss the go to of Wolves on December 27 after incomes a one-match suspension after his fifth yellow card of the season, and Bradley is now underneath an harm cloud as effectively.
Slot might be grateful there are solely two video games on the schedule within the subsequent 12 days, however the second begins a run of 9 video games in 31 days all through January, wherein Liverpool will want the depth of their squad.
With Isak having struggled for health since his deadline day transfer, it’s one other premature blow to the ahead choices, which can proceed to ask extra of Hugo Ekitike.
