Alexander Isak's injury confirmed as Jamie Carragher admits striker's absence is 'huge blow' to Liverpool
"After diagnosis, an operation was completed today on an ankle injury that included a fibula fracture. Isak's rehabilitation will now continue at the AXA Training Centre, with no timeframe yet placed on his return."
"It's a huge blow because I think Liverpool were actually one attacker short anyway. There's a lot been made about a lot of the challenges in the game from Tottenham players and a lot of them weren't clever. I've put myself in Van de Ven's position and that's a challenge I'd probably make. He's trying to block it, it's just the follow through. I don't know where else anyone thinks his foot's going to go."
"I think for certain now Mo Salah will be staying at the club," he said. "I think there's a good chance Harvey Elliott will come back from Aston Villa as well."
Alexander Isak suffered an ankle injury that included a fractured fibula after a challenge from Micky van de Ven while scoring in Liverpool's 2-1 win. Surgery was completed and rehabilitation will continue at the AXA Training Centre with no timeframe given for his return. Jamie Carragher defended Van de Ven's tackle as a necessary block but acknowledged Isak's absence is a significant loss for Liverpool. Carragher suggested the injury is unlikely to force major January market moves, noting Mohamed Salah is expected to stay and Harvey Elliott could return from Aston Villa.
