Alexander Isak underwent surgery on the injury he sustained against Tottenham on Saturday. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This was officially confirmed by Liverpool, who released a statement saying the operation was a success.<\/p>\n

The club also announced that Alexander Isak will not undergo rehabilitation following a diagnosis of a fractured fibula, and a timetable for his return has not yet been determined.<\/p>\n

The official statement reads as follows (from Liverpool’s official website):<\/p>\n

\n

“The Liverpool striker was injured in an attack on the way to scoring the opening goal against Tottenham Hotspur and had to be substituted.<\/p>\n

As a result of the diagnosis, surgery for the ankle injury, which included a fractured fibula, was completed today.<\/p>\n

Isaac’s rehabilitation will continue at the AXA Training Center, but a return date has not yet been determined. \u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The club has not announced a timetable for his return, but Isak is expected to return by the end of May or early April if his rehabilitation goes well.<\/p>\n

Recovery from a fibula fracture typically takes approximately 10 to 12 weeks.<\/p>\n

Will Liverpool sign a new attacker in January after Isaac’s injury?<\/h2>\n

Liverpool spent a lot of money on their attack in the summer transfer window, with the centerpiece signing Isak from Newcastle United in a deal worth almost \u00a3125m, the most expensive player in English history.<\/p>\n

They also spent big on signing Florian Wirtz and paid a similar amount to sign the Germany international from Bayer Leverkusen, while Hugo Ekitike was signed from Eintracht Frankfurt for \u00a369 million.<\/p>\n

Despite being the cheapest of the three, Ekitike is arguably the most influential by far.<\/p>\n

However, the Reds also dealt with the departure of several high-profile players, including selling Luis Diaz and Darwin Nu\u00f1ez, leaving Arne Slott with fewer advanced attacking options.<\/p>\n

Despite spending heavily this summer, Liverpool are already linked with another forward signing ahead of the January transfer window, with Antoine Semenyo emerging as a likely target.<\/p>\n

With Kodi Gakpo also sidelined and Isak facing a long-term absence, Liverpool need more attacking depth and that interest could accelerate.<\/p>\n

However, they face stiff competition, with Manchester City currently seen as the frontrunners in the race to sign Semenyo.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
