Here is your latest update of Liverpool injuries and return dates…
Andrew Robertson
Liverpool are sweating over Robertson after he returned from Scotland duty early due to a shoulder injury, leaving him a major doubt to face Everton pending the results of their inquiries.
“Obviously he’s hurt his shoulder,” said Scotland boss Steve Clarke. “We’ll have a look, [he’ll] obviously go back to his club.”
Cody Gakpo
There is hope Gakpo will be back for the Everton meeting having almost made his return from a knee injury before the international break.
“He is already out of the brace,” Klopp revealed before the draw at Brighton. “[He] walks normal around, so from all the very, very bad opportunities and possibilities injury-wise, I think he nearly got the best but is still injured.”
Stefan Bajcetic
After a number of months out, young midfielder Bajcetic saw his return cut short after only one appearance due to a fresh problem.
Liverpool hope to have him back after the internationals but that is perhaps in hope rather than expectation.
