Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson is set to undergo a scan after sustaining an ankle injury whilst on international duty with Scotland, according to The Athletic’s James Pearce.
The Reds full-back only returned to action in January after a lengthy lay-off following a shoulder injury picked up in October 2023, whilst playing for his country.
Jurgen Klopp will be frustrated that he could be set lose Robertson for an extended period of time, with a season-defining few weeks ahead in the Premier League and Europa League. The defender will be hoping his upcoming scan reveals positive news ahead of the final weeks of the 2023/24 campaign.
Robertson set to undergo scan
The defender’s setback is a ‘major concern’
According to James Pearce, writing for The Athletic, Andy Robertson will return to Liverpool to undergo a scan after picking up an ankle injury in Scotland’s 1-0 friendly defeat at the hands of Northern Ireland on 26th March. The 30-year-old couldn’t continue following a challenge from Sunderland’s Trai Hume, having found himself on the end of a heavy tackle. Speaking after the game, Scotland manager Steve Clarke provided an elusive update on Robertson’s injury:
“We’ll assess him. He’ll go back to his club and they’ll assess him. Hopefully, he’s back soon.”
Liverpool will be concerned about the potential of losing Robertson, when they return to Premier League action on 31st March when they host Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield.
