Liverpool striker Alexander Isak is expected to be sidelined for at least a couple of months after breaking his leg and undergoing surgery, the Premier League club¡¯s manager Arne Slot said on Tuesday.

Isak suffered the injury while scoring Liverpool¡¯s opening goal in Saturday¡¯s 2-1 win over Tottenham ?Hotspur when his foot got caught between Micky van de Ven¡¯s legs as the defender dived to ?block ?his shot.

The injury is a massive blow for Liverpool as it looks to ?rescue its title defense.
