Micky van de Ven has called Alexander Isak to apologise for the challenge that left him with a broken leg and had Arne Slot enraged.
The Sweden international damaged his left ankle and fractured his fibula when scoring Liverpool’s opening goal in their 2-1 win at Tottenham on Saturday; he was injured after Van de Ven slid in forcefully to block a shot.
Neither the match officials nor those overseeing the game on VAR deemed it necessary to look at the Netherlands international’s challenge but there was anger immediately within Liverpool’s camp after they had chance to see replays – and it has not subsided.
