Liverpool confirmed Alexander Isak fractured his left leg while scoring the opening goal in Saturday's win against Tottenham.
The £125m summer signing underwent surgery for an ankle injury that included a fibula fracture.
No specific timeline has been provided for his return, but he is expected to be sidelined for at least a few months.
This injury adds to a difficult start to Isak's Liverpool career, following previous fitness issues and a groin injury.
His absence further depletes Liverpool's attacking options, with Cody Gakpo also injured and Mohamed Salah away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
