Liverpool's record signing scored a crucial goal against Tottenham, only to suffer a significant lower leg injury in the same motion, leaving the club and its Kenyan fanbase holding its breath.

A moment of brilliance became a scene of deep concern on Saturday as Liverpool's Alexander Isak suffered a severe lower leg injury just as he scored the opening goal in a tense 2-1 victory over Tottenham. The Swedish striker, a celebrated record signing, now faces an anxious wait for MRI scan results that will determine the course of his season.
For Liverpool and its massive following across Kenya, the injury strikes a heavy blow. Isak, acquired from Newcastle in a blockbuster £125 million (approx. KES 21.5 billion) deal, represents a colossal investment in the club's future. The incident, which saw Isak challenged by Spurs' defender Micky van de Ven as he shot, immediately overshadowed the crucial win.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed his concern following the match, noting the gravity of the situation. "If a player scores and then gets injured and doesn’t try to come back on the pitch, that’s usually not a good thing," Slot stated. Isak, who had only been on the pitch for 11 minutes as a half-time substitute, was visibly distressed and unable to continue.
The 26-year-old has had a challenging start since his high-profile move to Anfield, with this goal being only his second in ten Premier League appearances. This latest setback interrupts what many hoped would be the moment his Liverpool career truly ignited.
The transfer was a British record, underscoring the immense pressure and expectation placed on the forward. An extended absence would severely test Liverpool's attacking depth, especially with other key players like Mohamed Salah away on international duty.
While the full extent of the damage remains unconfirmed, the club and its supporters are bracing for a lengthy layoff. The focus now shifts entirely to the medical reports, which are expected in the coming days as Liverpool prepares for its next fixture without its star signing.
