The Scotland skipper dislocated his shoulder during the team’s 2-0 loss to Spain on October 12. He then missed the Reds’ 2-0 Merseyside derby win over Everton on Saturday (October 21).
Before the match, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp clarified that the full-back needed surgery, which is set to keep Robertson out for the next three months. The German tactician said before his side’s last match. After the win over Everton, Van Dijk said that the team was behind Robertson to help him through the process of recovery. He said about the left-back, with whom he has shared the pitch in 201 matches and has five joint goal contributions .
“I spoke to him when it happened. I’m gutted for him. It’s not nice to have an injury that is bad, the shoulder is hard work. there’s so much work to go through but we are here to support him all the way through and he will be fine. Tough weeks ahead of him.”
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk sent a message to teammate Andrew Robertson, who is set to undergo after picking up a shoulder injury.
“I think the decision will go towards surgery. A little chance we can try without but all experts say surgery will be the best for the long term and that means he’s out for a while. We don’t know exactly how long.
