Andy Robertson risks joining Liverpool’s mounting defensive injury crisis.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have already seen their backline virtually decimated with Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez all sidelined recently.
Auxiliary centre-back Fabinho has also been sidelined while the Reds are now sweating on Robertson after he was left out of Scotland’s game with Slovakia.
The 26-year-old admitted his ‘hamstring had seized up’ when celebrating his country reaching the Euro 2020 finals in a penalty shoot-out win over Serbia.
Robertson was subsequently omitted from Sunday’s Nations League match in Tirana but further details on the extent of the problem have not been given.
News of the left-back’s setback comes just days after Gomez underwent surgery to repair a knee tendon injury sustained during England training.
FIFA are set to provide compensation to Liverpool for the length of the homegrown defender’s lay-off as part of their Club Protection Programme.
World football’s governing body are obligated to help subsidise any financial costs associated with a player sidelined as a result of international duty.
The policy covers players for a maximum of £6.75 million across 365 days.
