Heavy Blow For Liverpool As Robertson To Undergo Surgery 

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Andy Robertson will likely need to undergo surgery after the Liverpool defender injured his shoulder against Spain.

The full-back collided with shot-stopper Unai Simon during Scotland’s Euro 2024 qualifying match against Spain, suffering a serious shoulder injury. After the incident, Robertson had to be removed from the game, and he left the field carrying his arm in a homemade sling.

Following scans and tests, the medical team has suggested that the player should undergo surgery which is likely to keep him out for an indefinite period.

“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,” Klopp told reporters before facing Everton.

However, Liverpool might be boosted with the return of Cody Gakpo who missed the last two matches before the international break after he picked up a knee injury against Tottenham, a match that was riddled with VAR controversy after Luis Diaz’s goal was wrongly disallowed.

“Gakpo trained once with the team so we will have to see how it goes for tomorrow,” Klopp informed.

Ben Doak, Thiago Alcantara, and Stefan Bajcetic are still on injured reserve as they work their way back to full health.

Liverpool return to action against Everton in the Merseyside derby on Saturday at Anfield.
