Liverpool have also been unlucky, which has only exacerbated the bad. If I could point to a single moment that perfectly encapsulated Liverpool’s bad luck, I’d go back to last time The Reds faced off against Tottenham Hotspur. Florian Wirtz—who had been unfairly maligned at that point for not providing enough output—finally finally finally managed to set up Liverpool’s other big summer signing, Alexander Isak, who finally finally finally finished one of Wirtz’ many good chances he’d created.

And, because Liverpool can’t have nice things this season and/or are actually cursed, it was at this exact moment that a bad challenge snapped Isak’s leg in two. So. Liverpool’s record signing has been out since December, and Liverpool could desperately use his services to secure Champions League qualification next season.

But don’t expect Isak back any time soon, so sayth the manager. “If you ask me now I would say I don’t expect [Isak to go on duty with Sweden],” Slot said in his pre-match presser. “But we are still one and a half weeks off, there is always co-operation between club and country but I don’t expect him to play for us before that.
