Liverpool’s left-back Andy Robertson suffered an ankle injury during Scotland’s friendly against Northern Ireland, raising concerns about his availability for Liverpool’s upcoming matches. Robertson, who had only recently returned from a shoulder injury that kept him out for three months, was on the receiving end of a tackle by Sunderland’s Trai Hume, forcing him to exit the field in discomfort. Jurgen Klopp will closely monitor Robertson’s condition as Liverpool prepare to take on Brighton & Hove Albion on March 31.
Should Robertson require time off, Klopp may look towards Kostas Tsimikas or Joe Gomez as potential replacements. Meanwhile, Ibrahima Konate, who had recently been nursing a minor injury, started for France against Chile after missing their previous match. Darwin Nunez, who was recovering from an injury prior to the international break, opted not to join the Uruguay squad but is anticipated to make a return soon.
There’s optimism surrounding the potential availability of midfielder Curtis Jones for the Brighton match. However, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota may need additional recovery time, though Klopp remains hopeful about their return in the coming weeks. Robertson’s injury compounds Liverpool’s worries, but Klopp will assess the situation carefully and make necessary adjustments to ensure the team remains competitive.
