Left-back requires surgery after incident while on Scotland dutyManager Jürgen Klopp confirms: ‘He will be out for a while’
Liverpool are likely to lose Andy Robertson for three months after it was confirmed the defender needs surgery on the shoulder injury sustained on international duty.
Robertson damaged the shoulder in a collision with Spain’s goalkeeper Unai Simón during Scotland’s 2-0 defeat in Sevilla last Thursday. He returned to Liverpool this week to be assessed by a specialist, who confirmed the club’s fears that an operation was required. The 29-year-old left-back, a virtual ever-present for Jürgen Klopp’s team in recent years who has played every minute of his club’s eight league games so far this season, is not expected to return to competitive action until next year.
