Liverpool fear Alexander Isak has sustained a significant injury

Liverpool fear Alexander Isak has sustained a significant injury after being forced off in the win over Tottenham.

The club are waiting for the results of an MRI scan but the Press Association understands there are concerns over the extent of the problem to the Sweden international’s lower left leg.

However, they are unwilling to speculate on the potential implications for the 26-year-old until a full assessment of all medical tests has been completed.

Isak sustained the issue scoring the opener, only his second goal of an already injury-troubled debut season, in Saturday’s 2-1 win after defender Micky van der Ven slid across and caught his shooting leg as the striker planted it on the floor.
