Post: Isaac was substituted in the 84th minute of Crystal Palace’s game because an AI tool showed he was at risk of injury

Liverpool bought Swedish forward Isaac from Newcastle this summer for a transfer fee that set a Premier League record, but he has not yet shown his peak performance last season. In the Premier League match away to Crystal Palace, Isaac started the game and was replaced in the 84th minute.

The "Daily Mail" wrote that the reason Isaac was substituted in that game was because the AI ​​tool used by Liverpool staff issued a warning, reminding the coaching staff that Isaac was at risk of injury, and he was immediately replaced by Ngumoha.

One of the indicators in the AI ​​tool's algorithm is "pace balance," and Isaac was undoubtedly "pace off balance" both literally and figuratively at that time, even though the team was still behind its opponent with six minutes left in regulation.
