MANCHESTER, England (AP) – Liverpool striker Alexander Isak will be sidelined indefinitely after undergoing surgery on Monday. ankle and fibula fractures<\/span>.<\/p>\nof UK record $170 million deal<\/span> He was injured in a tackle while scoring the opening goal in Saturday’s 2-1 Premier League win over Tottenham and limped off the pitch.<\/p>\nIsak’s absence will not only affect Liverpool’s campaign, but also possibly Sweden’s chances of qualifying for the World Cup. Sweden will participate in the European play-offs in March and will face Ukraine in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n
Liverpool said in a statement: “Following diagnostic tests, surgery on his ankle injury, which included a fractured fibula, was completed today.” “Isak’s rehabilitation will continue at the AXA Training Center, but a return date has not yet been determined.”<\/p>\n
Isak’s injury was the latest blow in what has been a difficult season for the 26-year-old forward.<\/p>\n
Due to a prolonged transfer from Newcastle in the summer, he ultimately arrived at Liverpool in September, without having had enough pre-season to prepare for the new season.<\/p>\n
He gradually settled into Arn Slott’s team as he regained full sharpness, but then groin injury<\/span> This kept him out of Liverpool’s lineup for another month. In total, he has started just 10 games for the Premier League champions, scoring three goals.<\/p>\nLiverpool improve their attack power<\/h2>\n
They are already without Mohamed Salah in the slot, but Salah is playing in the African Cup of Nations, so they will have to hope for Hugo Ekitike to take up the goal-scoring role in the meantime.<\/p>\n
Another new signing this season, the France international has scored 11 goals for his new club so far, including his goal against Tottenham. He has scored five goals in his last three league games and has the chance to establish himself in Liverpool’s attacking line-up.<\/p>\n
The defending champion is getting back into form.<\/h2>\n
Liverpool are on a six-game unbeaten run after the Merseyside club’s title defense unraveled from September until the end of November. <\/p>\n
Due to their impressive performance, Slott’s team lost 6 out of 7 league matches and fell down the standings. However, consecutive wins against Brighton and Tottenham moved them up to 5th place, level on points with Chelsea in 4th place. <\/p>\n
