LIVERPOOL (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – “He will be out for a couple of months. It’s a big blow both for him and for us, he was getting back to being the player we had seen at Newcastle.” Arne Slot confirms reports regarding Alexander Isak’s recovery time after the fractured fibula he suffered in the match against Tottenham.
An injury caused by “a reckless challenge. Van de Ven’s tackle — if you do it ten times, I believe ten times there’s a serious chance a player suffers a severe injury,” said the Liverpool manager, pointing the finger at the Spurs defender.
The English tabloids have already started naming possible attacking reinforcements to cope with Isak’s absence, above all Semenyo. “But I’m only thinking about the next two matches, two difficult games,” Slot replied. “This is the moment for the players who are available to do what they’ve already done many times: roll up their sleeves. They have to give everything they’ve got, just like the fans usually do. That’s where my focus is.”
As for the possibility of recalling Elliott early from his loan at Aston Villa, Slot shut the door: “He’s expected to stay there for the whole season. Any questions about him should be directed to Aston Villa.”
