Andy Robertson could miss first month of Liverpool’s season
- Scotland defender picked up ankle ligament injury in friendly
- Kostas Tsimikas in line to make first Premier League start
The Liverpool defender Andy Robertson insists his ankle injury is “nothing too major” but ligament damage will rule him out of the Premier League opener at Norwich and potentially the first month of the season.
The Scotland international had to be helped from the pitch in Sunday’s friendly with Athletic Bilbao and further assessment has revealed a problem that will prevent his involvement this weekend. Liverpool welcome Chelsea to Anfield at the end of August and Robertson could now be targeting that match for his return. Jürgen Klopp’s side then travel to Leeds United on 12 September which may be a more realistic date following ligament damage.
