Liverpool FC will likely need to explore the winter transfer window. This is all happening as worries intensify over the fitness of their record signing, Alexander Isak. The £130 million club record striker is understood to have sustained a suspected broken leg at the weekend in the clash with Tottenham Hotspur. This injury sent shockwaves through the club.
The collision happened in the second half of the match, which Liverpool ended up winning 2-1. The club have allayed any fears that Isak has potentially damaged his cruciate ligament. Even now, concerns remain that he could face a long spell away from the game due to the seriousness of the injury. Medical staff are currently working to understand the full extent of the damage to figure out how to proceed.
Isak’s performance has been pivotal for Liverpool, making his potential absence a significant blow to their season. During his arrival at Liverpool, the striker was the team’s most expensive signing. His work has been instrumental in their efforts to win titles at home and in Europe. Liverpool are clearly still trying to find value in the market. At the same time, they want to keep squad depth and stay competitive.
As January approaches, the club’s management will be weighing all possible options to strengthen their attacking options. Unfortunately, Isak’s injury is a long-term one. Despite everything, the team is still committed to doing everything possible to mitigate damage to their campaign.
