Liverpool striker Isak has surgery on broken leg

Liverpool has confirmed that Alexander Isak has a broken leg and undergone surgery.

Isak’s recovery is still on hold, but the club has yet to set a date for him to be sidelined for at least a few months.

Liverpool claimed the 26-year-old “successfully underwent surgery” for a “ankle injury that included a fibula fracture.”

Isak came off the bench to score against Tottenham on Saturday, but Micky van de Ven quickly injured him after he had already scuffled his shot before the goal, making it impossible to continue. He was aided off the pitch by medical staff because he was clearly in pain.

Since moving to Liverpool from Newcastle in September, the forward has scored three goals in 16 appearances for the Premier League.
