Liverpool’s next five matches: all competitions
The Athletic have released a major Liverpool injury update involving Andy Robertson, after news emerged that the 29-year-old dislocated his shoulder while on international duty with Scotland in a Euro 2024 qualifier against Spain in Seville.
Robertson is flown back to be assessed by his club and could be out for three to six weeks if he does not require surgery to correct the shoulder problem.
However, if he were to go under the knife, the former Hull City man could be sidelined for up to six months and potentially until April next year, which would be a horrible scenario for Liverpool manager Klopp .
Klopp has previously branded Robertson as “absolutely outstanding” and it is one of the first names of him on the team sheet at Anfield.
The Scot has scored nine goals and 63 assists in 275 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions (Robertson Stats –Transfermarkt).
Despite this, Robertson could remain on the sidelines for an extended period of time, which will likely lead to Kostas Tsimikas, who has only played four minutes of Premier League football this season, taking his place in the starting line-up for the time being. .
