Liverpool won 2-1 over Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday, but were handed a setback when Alexander Isak was forced to leave due to injury. The Swedish forward was caught by a late sliding challenge from Spurs defender Micky van de Ven as he scored his team’s first goal.
The Reds have recovered from a dismal run, being unbeaten in their previous five top-tier games. They’ve now won back-to-back games courtesy to their victory in north London.
Xavi Simons was sent off in the first half, before Isak came on and scored to put Arne Slot’s team ahead. However, when he scored, Van de Ven’s follow-through twisted his leg, leaving Isak unable to celebrate the game’s opening goal due to agony.

Liverpool’s record signing was treated before limping off, and on Monday, he had surgery for an ankle injury that featured a fibula fracture. The club has not set a timeframe for his return, but a former Premier League player has supplied an anticipated timeline for his recovery. The ECHO brings you all the latest news from Anfield.
Injury timetable for Alexander Isak
Prior to the match against Tottenham, the Swedish star, who only joined Liverpool last summer for a staggering £120 million, was already dealing with fitness and injury difficulties.
Isak’s situation was updated on Monday night after he underwent surgery for a leg fracture. The team has not specified when Isak will be able to return, although he is expected to be out of action for at least a few months. But Gabby Agbonlahor, a former Aston Villa forward, has gone a step further.
Speaking on talkSPORT, he stated that he believes the 26-year-old will not return to the pitch this season after being sent off in his team’s triumph.
