Andy Robertson's Shoulder Injury: Liverpool Defender Faces Uncertain Return
Liverpool Left-Back Injured on International Duty
Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has undergone surgery on his shoulder after sustaining an injury while representing Scotland last month. The injury occurred during a match against Belgium, when Robertson fell awkwardly and dislocated his left shoulder.
Return Timeline Uncertain
The exact timeline for Robertson's return is unknown, with Liverpool stating that he will be assessed further by the club's medical team in the coming days. However, it is believed that he could be out of action for a significant period.
Injury Blow for Liverpool
Robertson's injury is a blow for Liverpool, who are currently competing in both the Premier League and the Champions League. The Scottish international has been a key player for the Reds in recent seasons, making over 200 appearances and contributing to numerous trophies.
Alternatives at Left-Back
With Robertson sidelined, Liverpool have a number of options to fill the left-back position. Kostas Tsimikas is the natural replacement, but he has struggled for consistency in his performances. James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are also capable of playing in the role, although they are more comfortable in other positions.
Concern for Scotland
Robertson's injury is also a concern for Scotland, who are set to face Ukraine in a crucial World Cup qualifier next month. The defender is the team's captain and a key figure in their hopes of reaching the tournament.
Liverpool and Scotland will be monitoring Robertson's progress closely in the coming weeks, as they hope to have him back fit and firing as soon as possible.
