Alexander Isak put Liverpool ahead against nine man Tottenham with a close range finish only to suffer a suspected broken leg in the same move after Micky van de Ven’s full pace slide trapped the striker’s left leg awkwardly beneath him. Introduced at half time with the score goalless after Xavi Simons’ red card, Isak scored within minutes then had to be helped off, and early assessments reported by The Athletic suggest significant damage while Liverpool wait on scan results to confirm the full extent.

Liverpool’s 2-1 win at nine-man Tottenham was overshadowed as Alexander Isak left the pitch in clear pain moments after scoring the opener from Florian Wirtz’s cross. The striker, already hindered by previous fitness issues, needed support from medical staff to reach the sideline. Arne Slot confirmed after the game that Isak and team-mate Conor Bradley had both suffered injuries, with early signs worrying but the exact diagnoses still pending. The Liverpool boss stressed they would use the upcoming free week to assess damage and hope for quick recoveries.

Florian Wirtz has endured a muted start at Liverpool after a £116m switch from Bayer Leverkusen, registering no goals and five assists so far. Expectations were huge after his record-breaking move, but his early form fell short of the hype around his arrival. Arne Slot has adjusted how Liverpool handle Wirtz, easing the pressure by shifting focus from price tag to long-term integration. The club are giving him protection, patience and a clearer role in attack, aiming to help him build rhythm and confidence through gradual progression.

He accepts the transition has been slower than hoped but leans on experience, focusing on balance and consistency.

Hamann Tips Liverpool To Consider Isak Sale To Barcelona In 2026

Dietmar Hamann believes Liverpool may consider selling record signing Alexander Isak to Barcelona in summer 2026 if his underwhelming form persists, with the £125m striker managing just two goals in 15 appearances after arriving in a blockbuster 2025 window alongside Florian Wirtz. Hamann suggests Isak’s future will depend on Hugo Ekitike’s development and how Liverpool’s attack settles, arguing that the Swede’s proven quality at Newcastle ensures strong interest from Europe’s elite, while Wirtz’s long-term role under Arne Slot will also be scrutinised if big bids arrive.

Arne Slot has moved to calm concern over Alexander Isak’s slow start at Liverpool, arguing that the £125 million striker should not be judged purely on goals after an injury-disrupted first spell and limited service, despite scoring only once in all competitions so far. Slot pointed to the modern reality that elite No.9s rarely get constant clear chances and insisted Liverpool must supply Isak better in key zones. He contrasted Isak with Erling Haaland, saying touches must come at the right moments, and called for collective improvement rather than blaming the forward.

Liverpool are weighing a move for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga despite his contract running to 2029, as Arne Slot pushes for another rebuild after a disastrous start that has followed a £450m summer spree on Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak and new full-backs. Camavinga has been monitored as Wirtz struggles to adapt, Isak endures scrutiny over his controversial switch from Newcastle, and defensive reinforcements Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez battle inconsistency, leaving Liverpool unsure Slot can stabilise a title defence already rocked by nine defeats in twelve games.

Arne Slot admitted he is “almost confused” by Liverpool’s disastrous Premier League run, with the defending champions losing six of their last seven league games and sitting in the bottom half despite heavy summer investment and three wins from four in a strong Champions League campaign. Pointing to big-money arrivals such as Isak, Wirtz, Ekitike, Kerkez and Frimpong, Slot insisted the squad has enough quality and noted recent European victories over Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt. However, he conceded that “far too many games” have been lost domestically and that he has yet to “find a winning way” in the league.

Liverpool thrashed by PSV as Ekitike injury deepens crisis

Liverpool
November 2025

Liverpool’s season hit a new low with a 4-1 home defeat to PSV, marking nine losses in their last 12 games and dragging them down to 13th in the Champions League standings. Goals from Ivan Perisic, Guus Til and a Couhaib Driouech brace exposed a fragile, disjointed defence. Slot’s rotated side never settled, and the night worsened when in-form summer signing Hugo Ekitike limped off just after the hour, forcing the underperforming Alexander Isak into another goalless appearance. The Sweden striker’s ongoing drought and the team’s collapsing form will intensify scrutiny on Slot’s selections and ability to halt the slide.

The forward, who went on strike to push through a British-record transfer, is said to view the protection dog as part of settling safely on Merseyside under intense scrutiny, with sources describing the animal as both a powerful guardian and calm family companion.
