Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders has confirmed that Andy Robertson is ready to return to the squad.The 29-year-old has been sidelined for more than three months after dislocating his shoulder during Scotland’s game against Spain last October.
Asked about the defender’s condition at his pre-match press conference against Fulham, Lijnders said:”I trained with the team yesterday (Monday). It’s been 13 weeks and she’s had an appointment with the surgeon to make sure everything is OK so we can bond fully.
Absolutely. So he’s been working hard lately and he’s rehabbed well, so for sports science he’s healthy. Now he should be ready for proper team training.”Bournemouth manager reveals what Liverpool, City and Arsenal have in common after Liverpool’s crushing defeat. Liverpool will receive a huge boost ahead of the crucial game as Klopp gives a positive injury update“So getting it back is a huge benefit. We have been waiting for a long time. He is one of our captains. I just met him in the canteen and he said, “Pep, I have sports clothes!” So he pushes himself into the team.
It’s a good thing. He goes [to Craven Cottage].’Fans on the X Network are excited to see Robertson compete again before his big match. When will Robertson return to Liverpool? Although the Scotland international will be included in the starting line-up for the Carabao Cup semi-final against Fulham, he could be forced to sit on the bench, with Joe Gomez retaining his place at left-back.
Robertson is expected to get minutes at Craven Cottage but is likely to start against Norwich in the FA Cup this weekend. This gives the defender a chance to play in the next two league games against Chelsea and Arsenal.
