The injury to striker Alexander Isak could be serious, they fear in the English football club Liverpool. The Swedish international suffered the injury in the victory over Tottenham on Saturday and the "Reds" are still waiting for the results of the nuclear magnetic resonance, and according to information from the AP he will not get away with a short recovery, BTA reported.
Isak was injured when kicking the first goal in favor of the Merseysiders, which is his second in an already injury-ridden first season at "Anfield". He lasted just 11 minutes after coming on at half-time in place of another forced substitute, Connor Bradley.
Manager Arne Slott admitted in the post-match interview that Isak's condition was not good: "When players can't even try to get back on the pitch, then things don't look good. That's just my feeling, without medical evidence. We don't know yet if he'll be out, but we hope it won't be for a long time".
With their second consecutive league win, Liverpool climbed to fifth place in the standings, level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea. Sunderland are two games behind in sixth place.
