The Sweden international was forced off the pitch after scoring the opening goal after the Reds’ victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Isak was on the receiving end of a heavy challenge from Micky van de Ven when he got his shot and immediately grabbed his leg. The 26-year-old required on-field treatment before being replaced by Jeremy Frimpong.
Hugo Ekitike doubled Liverpool’s lead soon afterwards, before Richarlison added on late on, but the Merseyside team held on for a 2-1 away win.
