Alexander Isak has undergone surgery to repair a fracture to his left leg and will potentially be out until next spring.
Liverpool were bracing themselves for bad news following an MRI scan on Sunday to determine the extent of the injury Isak sustained in Saturday’s 2-1 win at Tottenham.
Though it was swiftly ruled out that Isak had suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage – an injury that would have ended his campaign – they were aware the prognosis wasn’t going to be good.
Scans confirmed a lower leg fracture and he underwent a successful operation on Monday to put the bone back into place.
