November 16, (THEWILL) – Andy Robertson, the Scotland left-back for Liverpool, staggered off the pitch late in his country’s 2-0 win over Denmark on Monday, causing concern about his fitness at Anfield.
Robertson, who captained his country’s team, played 79 minutes before limping off with a hamstring injury that prevented him from finishing the game.
Although he was seen walking around freely in Scotland’s lap of honour post-match, Robertson will now be taken for scans to determine the seriousness of his injury, and he might potentially join Liverpool’s ever-growing list of injury concerns.
If Robertson is ruled out, Kostas Tsimikas of Greece, who has been in excellent form since the start of the season, will take his spot at the back.
This time around, Liverpool has not had the best of luck with the international break. Sadio Mane has a possible rib issue that will be checked, and Jordan Henderson has left the England camp with an undisclosed concern.
Jurgen Klopp is already without Roberto Firmino, Harvey Elliott, Thiago Alcantara, and Joe Gomez, while James Milner and Naby Keita are both recovering from hamstring ailments that might keep them out for a while.
Due to the fact that high-flying Arsenal will be visiting Anfield on Saturday, Klopp may not have much time to get his injured players back on the pitch.
With a win, Arsenal might push Liverpool out of the top four, as Mikel Arteta’s team is presently two points behind Liverpool in fifth place.
Liverpool has gone two games without a win and the Reds have only two wins in their past six Premier League games, so a win against an Arsenal side that has not lost in their last eight is essential.
