Liverpool striker Alexander Isak will miss the match against Manchester United due to a groin injury. The Swedish footballer sustained the injury during training. This was reported by Goal.com reports.
This situation is a significant blow for head coach Arne Slot.
The 26-year-old forward was signed from Newcastle for 130 million pounds. His debut season at Anfield has been marred by injuries.
Isak has appeared in only 13 matches this season, scoring three goals.
Another forward for the team, Hugo Ekitike, is also sidelined for the remainder of the season. Consequently, Liverpool will head to the crucial match at Old Trafford without their primary striker.
Additionally, Mohamed Salah will also be unable to participate in the match due to a muscle injury.
Amidst the injuries, Mohamed Salah spoke about his decision to leave the club at the end of the season. The 33-year-old Egyptian footballer stated that he reached his final decision after a conversation with former captain Steven Gerrard.
The match between Manchester United and Liverpool is of great importance for Champions League qualification. The Mancunians, led by Michael Carrick, won 2-1 at Anfield in October.
