Former Chelsea Star Slams Van De Ven Over Isak Injury Tackle

  • Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf criticized Tottenham's Micky van de Ven for a tackle that fractured Liverpool striker Alexander Isak's leg.
  • Isak is now sidelined for two months due to the injury sustained during the Reds' 2-1 win over Spurs.
  • Leboeuf stated that while he admires Van De Ven, he must be punished for the tackle, emphasizing a defender's need for control.
  • Van De Ven was not booked for the challenge, a decision contrasted with teammate Xavi Simons' red card for a tackle on Virgil Van Dijk.
  • Liverpool boss Arne Slot also commented, suggesting Van De Ven's tackle had a high probability of causing serious injury.

Why It Matters: Leboeuf demands punishment for Van De Ven's tackle, which severely injured Alexander Isak.
