"Is there maybe a need to go under the knife? There will be a point where they look at that and discuss. Surgical intervention is primarily taken for two reasons. One is to minimise or mitigate the risk of re-injury so you're hoping to stop that. Secondly, is to free the player up so they're returning to those pre-injury levels."
"Now, of course, there is never a 100% success rate guarantee with these surgeries so that's why it's not a decision that is taken lightly. The Isak situation, we know that it's very minor, more of a niggle, but he is being managed. You've got the form of Ekitike and Isak's coming off the back of a heavily disrupted pre-season programme. That forms a cornerstone for any player for their upcoming campaign."
Liverpool signed Alexander Isak for a British-record fee after weeks of public discontent at Newcastle United and a deadline-day transfer. Isak has struggled to deliver consistent world-class performances due to persistent fitness issues, including a groin problem that forced a half-time substitution in the Champions League and ruled him out of the Brentford game. Injury analyst Ben Dinnery warned that surgical intervention might be considered to reduce re-injury risk and restore pre-injury levels, though surgery carries no guaranteed success. Isak's issue is currently described as a niggle and is being managed amid a disrupted pre-season and Ekitike's form.
