What began as a promising evening quickly turned into a worrying one for Liverpool striker Alexander Isak. In the 2–1 win over Tottenham Hotspur, the Swedish forward found the net — only his second goal in his first six months at the club — but his night ended early after he was forced off with an injury.

According to The Athletic, a definitive diagnosis has yet to be confirmed, but there is growing concern inside Liverpool over a possible leg fracture. The club has already ruled out anterior cruciate ligament damage, offering some relief, yet a fracture would still represent a major blow.

If the worst-case scenario is confirmed, Isak could be sidelined for several months. Such an absence would significantly impact Liverpool’s attacking options during a crucial phase of the season, but the repercussions extend beyond club football.

The 25-year-old is a key figure for the Sweden national team, who are set to face Ukraine in March in the play-offs of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. A prolonged layoff would almost certainly rule Isak out of that decisive international showdown, potentially altering the balance of the tie.
