Liverpool Receive Huge Injury Boost

The fact that Andy Robertson has escaped a catastrophic injury while playing for his country has given Liverpool a significant advantage in their pursuit of the Premier League championship.

Following his limping exit from Scotland’s 1-0 loss to Northern Ireland in the middle of the week, there were concerns that Robertson might miss the championship match. Starting on Sunday, Liverpool will play three matches in eight days: first against Brighton on Sunday, then Sheffield United on Thursday, and finally Manchester United on Sunday. They play Atalanta in the Europa League on Thursday of the following week. However, according to the Daily Mail, Robertson’s ankle injury is not as bad as initially thought.

Liverpool do not expect to have the left-back fit for this weekend’s clash with Brighton, and Jurgen Klopp will have a number of selection headaches. Both Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold are also likely to miss out, meaning the German tactician will have to call on two deputies at full-back.

Due to a dislocated shoulder, Robertson missed 13 Premier League games between October and January of this year, which already caused disruptions to his season. That wound was also received while serving abroad.
