Liverpool have now confirmed that the striker has fractured his fibula and underwent a successful surgery on Monday (December 22).

The club hasn’t confirmed how long Isak is set to be sidelined, but considering the injury, it’s expected he will miss several months.

In a brief club statement, Liverpool said: “The Liverpool striker was injured in a challenge in the process of scoring the opening goal against Tottenham Hotspur and had to be substituted.

“After diagnosis, an operation was completed today on an ankle injury that included a fibula fracture.

“Isak's rehabilitation will now continue at the AXA Training Centre, with no timeframe yet placed on his return.”
