Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher shared his thoughts on the incident where striker Alexander Isak sustained an injury during the match against Tottenham. Carragher emphasized that the injury was a significant setback for Liverpool, as the team is already dealing with issues in its attacking lineup.
According to him, any defender would have acted the same way in such a situation because the priority is to block any shot aimed at the goal by any means necessary. “I put myself in van de Ven’s place, and perhaps I would have done the same.
Isak was simply unlucky. Maybe this was one of the first moments where we truly saw his qualities in a Liverpool shirt,” Carragher remarked, as quoted by Sky Sports.
Isak sustained the injury during Matchweek 17 of the Premier League, in which Liverpool secured a 2–1 victory. The Swedish forward, who entered the pitch after halftime, scored a goal in the 56th minute. However, during the strike, his ankle became trapped between the legs of the opposing defender, Mikki van de Ven, following a sliding tackle.
As a result, the striker was unable to continue the match. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
