He needed to be helped from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium pitch for Jeremie Frimpong in the 60th minute.
Alexander Isak injury history: Star suffers distressing injury while scoring for Liverpool
We’ll share all of Arne Slot’s comments on Isak’s injury as soon as he speaks from North London about a striker who has suffered a number of injuries since arriving in England.
Isak was pretty durable for Real Sociedad but lost time early in his first season with Newcastle. The Swede scored twice in his first three Premier League games before missing 11 with a thigh problem.
His second season at St. James’ Park saw two separate three-game absences with groin ailments, but a broken toe only cost him two matches last season as he played 34 PL games for the Magpies.
Hopefully this injury isn’t as bad as it appeared on camera.
