Alexander Isak has suffered another injury blow after being forced off following a challenge from Micky van de Ven. The setback came shortly after the Swedish international had scored the opener in Saturday's clash against Tottenham.
The striker wasn't the only casualty, as Conor Bradley was also substituted due to injury. Arne Slot is already navigating a lengthy list of absentees, making these fresh concerns the last thing he needed midway through the busy festive period.
Despite these mid-game setbacks, Liverpool secured a vital three points away from home. The win moves the Reds up to fifth in the table, level on points with Chelsea in fourth and 10 points adrift of leaders Arsenal.
