Mo Salah isn't the only Liverpool attacker that fans need to worry about this season

Mohamed Salah's future has dominated most of the talk about Liverpool over the last seven days.

The attacker is still seen as one of the Reds' best players despite his recent run of poor form.

Most players will go through poor spells in each season but, in Salah's case, his poor runs have never really gone on for this long.

Although a lot of the blame has been placed on the shoulders of the Egyptian King, others such as Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak have also failed to live up to the standards expected of them.

The latter of the two has been a massive flop for the Anfield outfit with questions now being asked about whether he was worth the £125 million that Liverpool spent on him this summer.

Alexander Isak is out injured for Liverpool once again

One of the most anticipated transfers of the summer window was Isak's move from Newcastle to Liverpool.

Since the window first opened in June, it was clear that the Sweden international was one of the Reds' main priorities with many thinking that he'd form an impressive partnership with Salah.

At the moment, that's been far from the case with the former Real Sociedad man looking miles off the pace.

And now, Slot has shared some news that should massively worry Liverpool's fanbase.

When asked about the potential of Isak and Hugo Ekitike playing alongside one another more often during his pre-Brighton press conference, Slot said the following about Isak's availability.

"Alex got a knock in the first half [against Inter Milan]," he said.

"Let's see how he's recovered from that."

Alexander Isak's £125m transfer could end up being Liverpool's biggest mistake of the season

Now that we're a few months into the 2025-26 season, most Liverpool fans likely thought that Isak would be back to his best by now.

Last term, he was one of the Premier League's best strikers with his goals often carrying Newcastle United to wins.

So, when he was signed by Liverpool for £125 million, most thought that he'd make the Reds' strike force close to unstoppable, especially with the form that Salah found himself in last term.

However, as fans know, that's been far from the case and unless Isak has a massively improved second half of the season, his transfer will feel like a waste of money.

Isak's injury history is also becoming a major worry with the striker spending more time on the sidelines than on the pitch.

This has resulted in him scoring just two goals across all competitions and leaving fans to wonder whether it was even worth Liverpool spending a hefty chunk of change to sign him in the first place.
