Liverpool striker Alexander Isak suffered a serious injury to his lower leg during the Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur on 20 December 2025. The Sweden international had just scored for Liverpool in the 2‑1 victory when he was involved in a challenge with Spurs defender Micky van de Ven and immediately required medical attention.
Initial assessments indicate the injury could involve the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), but medical staff are also considering the possibility of a fracture in the lower leg. Further scans will determine the full extent of the damage and the potential recovery timeline.
Isak, who joined Liverpool in summer 2025 for a British-record fee of £125 million, had already made an impact for the club, scoring 3 goals in 16 appearances across all competitions before this setback.
The injury represents a major blow to Liverpool, particularly as the club manages limited attacking options due to other absences. The timing is especially unfortunate, coming after a period of promising performances by the 26-year-old forward.
Medical staff are continuing evaluations, and Liverpool will provide updates once scans confirm the severity of the injury. Fans and club officials alike await news on how long Isak may be sidelined.
