Arne Slot has issued a rallying cry to his Liverpool squad, calling on his players to “roll their sleeves up” amid mounting injuries. Liverpool’s camp was rocked this week by the news of Alexander Isak’s leg break, which will keep him sidelined for a matter of months.

Liverpool fear record-signing Alexander Isak sustained a suspected broken leg in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Whatever the nature of the damage done to Isak as Micky van de Ven collided with him well after the shot was away, it was enough to rob Liverpool's No. 9 of what might otherwise have been a moment of ecstasy.

Alexander Isak has spoken publicly for the first time since he fractured his leg during Liverpool's win against Tottenham on Saturday. The Reds triumphed 2-1 in north London, with Isak opening the scoring at the start of the second half.
