Alexander Isak scored as Liverpool beat Tottenham in the Premier League during the latest gameweek.
It was a poor opening to the game, even when Spurs were forced down to 10 men.
Responding to what was a lacklustre showing from his side, Arne Slot took off Conor Bradley for Alexander Isak at the break.

However, right after getting his shot off, Mick van de Ven collided with the striker, and he immediately went down injured, unable to celebrate.

Another long-term absence would be a big blow for Isak, who looked sharp during his very brief time on the pitch.
Now, speaking shortly after the match, Slot was asked about the forward, as per the BBC.
However, he was unable to provide any sort of meaningful update. He said: “We’ll have to wait and see. It is too short after the game to speak about it but it is never good when a player[Isak] has to come off.
“I took Frimpong off because I did not want to be with ten men, so that injury is fine. The other two [Isak and Bradley] we’ll have to wait and see. The good thing is that we have a week to go so hopefully we have enough players available to play next week again.”
Liverpool attacking options vs Wolves depleted
Liverpool are now back in action on December 27, taking on a struggling Wolves team.
Isak could well miss the game, while we already know Salah is away at the AFCON.
Elsewhere, Szoboszlai will be absent from the fixture after picking up another yellow card against Spurs.
Cody Gakpo is injured as well, leaving Ekitike and Wirtz as the only available regular starters.
Federico Chiesa may finally get a chance in turn, though Jeremie Frimpong, who came on in the right-wing role on Saturday, could be an option.
