Injury Update: Alexander Isak Undergoes Surgery

Liverpool striker Alexander Isak has undergone surgery following the injury he sustained during Liverpool’s 2-1 Premier League win against Tottenham Hotspur, and the club has confirmed he will be sidelined for an extended period.

Isak suffered the injury while scoring the opening goal in the match and was substituted after the challenge, with scans revealing a fracture that required an operation on his ankle and fibula.

The surgery was completed successfully on Monday, and Isak has since begun rehabilitation at Liverpool’s training centre, though the club has not provided a specific timeframe for his return to action.

Medical staff and coaching personnel will monitor his recovery closely, and initial reports suggest a lengthy absence is likely given the nature of the injury.

Isak’s injury represents a significant setback for Liverpool, who invested a British transfer record fee to sign the Sweden international in the summer.

The striker’s season has already been disrupted by earlier fitness issues, and the timing of this latest injury comes as Liverpool navigate a congested fixture schedule during the festive period.

The club’s manager and medical team have emphasised the importance of proper rehabilitation, with Isak expected to remain out of the squad while he recovers from surgery.

Liverpool will assess his condition in the coming weeks before determining when he can return to full training and competitive play.
