Liverpool striker Alexander Isak has undergone surgery for an ankle injury and a fracture in one of his calf bones, following the lower leg problem he sustained while scoring against Tottenham Hotspur. The club has not provided a return timeline, but reports suggest several months' recovery, concerning for Sweden's World Cup playoff campaign.

Isak picked up the injury during Liverpool's 2-1 Premier League win over Tottenham on December 20, 2025, exiting shortly after scoring the opener. On December 22, the club confirmed he had surgery and will now begin rehabilitation.

No specific return date has been announced, though the BBC reports a recovery of at least 'a few months.' The timing is poor for the Swedish national team, with Isak a key player ahead of their World Cup playoff against Ukraine on March 26, 2026.
