Spurs were reduced to 10 men in the first half with Xavi Simons’ red card and had to wait until the 56th minute to open the scoring through Isak.
After meeting Florian Wirtz’s pass, Isak was on the receiving end of a heavy challenge from Micky van de Ven as he finished past Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
Isak, who was brought on as a half-time substitute for Conor Bradley, received treatment on the pitch and was then replaced by Jeremie Frimpong.
Liverpool doubled their lead through Hugo Ekitike before Richarlison’s goal in the 83rd minute set up a nervy finish for Slot’s side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
‘I don’t have any news on him,’ Slot said of Isak after Liverpool’s win.

‘But if a player scores and then gets injured and doesn’t come back on the pitch, and also doesn’t try to come back, which Conor Bradley for example did but I had to take him out as well because he couldn’t go on, but if a player doesn’t try to come back that’s usually not a good thing.
‘But I cannot say anything more than that, that is just gut feeling, nothing medical.’
Asked if Isak had his own feeling about his injury, Slot replied: ‘Haven’t spoken to him about that yet.
‘It’s a good thing he scored, a good goal, assisted by Florian Wirtz, I said last week players are getting better, the team is getting better, again, wasn’t perfect today, especially in the last 10 minutes but in the meantime we pick up points and I see the team developing in a way I’d like to see.’
