Robertson set for early Liverpool reunion

Andy Robertson is set for an early reunion with Liverpool.

Robertson ended a nine-year association with Anfield this summer in which he won eight major honours including two Premier League titles and the Champions League.

The Scotland international made 378 appearances for the Reds during that time and was installed as vice-captain in his final season.

But Robertson will return to Merseyside next month after Tottenham were drawn against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup’s third round.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side sealed a trip to Anfield courtesy of a 5-1 rout over Charlton Athletic in Tuesday’s second round.

Robertson, who joined the north Londoners as a free agent in the summer, was an unused substituted for the encounter.

One-time Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke is also in line to face his former employers next month and scored the game’s second goal.

The Anfield tie is set to take place on the week commencing September 14.
