Very bad news from Liverpool: Alexander Isak, who is already having a complicated season, has suffered a broken leg. A disaster for the attacker, transferred last summer for 140 million euros.
This Saturday, Alexander Isak (26 years old) first had a smile when he opened the scoring in favor of Liverpool away to Tottenham. It was only the second Premier League goal this season for the Swedish international striker, whose adaptation to the Reds is delicate.
But Isak quickly lost this smile: in the same phase, a dangerous tackle from Micky Van de Ven forced him to leave the pitch in tears and visibly seriously injured. We awaited the verdict, but all of Liverpool feared the worst.
Isak’s World Cup in danger
The worst is pretty much what the doctors confirmed: Alexander Isak suffers from a broken leg, announces The Athletic this Monday. This means he will miss many months of competition. A hard blow for the player, and for Liverpool who spent 140 million last summer.
This long absence endangers Alexander Isak’s possible participation in the World Cup. In any case, he will certainly not be able to help Sweden qualify next March in the European qualifying play-offs, against Ukraine then against the winner of Poland-Albania.
Under the colors of Newcastle United, Isak established himself as one of England’s best strikers, scoring 62 goals in 109 league matches. Since signing for Liverpool, he has already had to deal with an adductor injury which has hampered his adaptation.
