Liverpool are worried Alexander Isak suffered a 'significant' injury during their win at on Saturday. Isak picked up the problem when scoring the Reds' opener in North London and the reigning Premier League champions now face an anxious wait over their record signing.
Isak wasn't the only player to suffer an injury scare at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong were also withdrawn with issues of their own, but there is a serious concern when it comes to their £125m striker.
According to , Liverpool are worried about a significant leg injury to their star man but won't be sure until Isak undergoes an MRI scan. If the injury is as bad as feared, it could prove a problem for both club and country.
Isak, 26, has had a stop-start career at Anfield since joining from . The goal against Spurs was just a second in the Premier League this season for a player who arrived without a proper pre-season behind him and missed games through a different injury in the autumn.
The Swedish international could also be an injury concern for his national side's World Cup play-offs in March. Graham Potter's side will play in their semi-final, with the winner of that match playing either Poland or Albania for a place in next summer's finals.

“I don’t have any news on him. But if a player scores and then gets injured, and doesn’t come back on the pitch, doesn’t try to come back - which is what Conor Bradley tried to do for example but I had to take him off as well because he couldn’t go on," after the win at Spurs.
“But if a player doesn’t even try to come back, that is usually not a good thing. But I cannot say anything more than that, it is just a gut feeling. Nothing medical to say about it. I haven’t spoken to him about it yet."
