David Ornstein has since reported for The Athletic that Liverpool fear Isak has sustained a broken leg. Though the extent of the injury is still to be determined, such an injury usually results in at least a few months out.

We’ll know for sure once Liverpool confirm the injury, which Ornstein reports they intend to do once MRI scan results arrive.
