Liverpool are braced for face-to-face showdown talks with the agent of Mohamed Salah during the Africa Cup of Nations. Salah's Liverpool future was thrown into doubt earlier this month in the wake of a spectacular outburst following the Reds' 3-3 draw at Leeds, where the Egyptian forward claimed he'd been "thrown under the bus" by the defending Premier League champions.

Alexander Isak has spoken publicly for the first time since he fractured his leg during Liverpool's win against Tottenham on Saturday. The Reds triumphed 2-1 in north London, with Isak opening the scoring at the start of the second half. However, in the act of shooting, he was hauled down by a late challenge from Spurs defender Micky van de Ven, which forced the striker off with injury.

Liverpool have been told that it wouldn't be worth their time to sign a direct replacement for the injured Alexander Isak during the January transfer window. Isak suffered a fractured leg during Saturday's 2-1 win at Tottenham and is set for an extended period on the sidelines, but the Reds may not look to bring in another striker in his absence.

Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank launched a passionate defence of Micky van de Ven after Liverpool boss Arne Slot was critical of the centre-back's challenge that left Alexander Isak with a fractured leg. The Reds beat nine-man Spurs 2-1 on Saturday evening, with Isak opening the scoring for the visitors. However, he was unable to continue after breaking the deadlock due to injury.

Alexander Isak may have suffered a fractured fibula, but a broken leg may not have brought his 2025-26 campaign to a close. Liverpool boss Arne Slot has delivered a recovery update on the most expensive player in British football. He is confident that the £125 million ($169m) Sweden international striker will play Premier League football again this season.
