Andy Robertson risks missing Liverpool’s Premier League opener at Norwich City.
The Scotland international was withdrawn at the end of the first half in the Reds’ pre-season friendly with Athletic Bilbao on Sunday with a suspected ankle injury.
Robertson landed awkwardly on his right ankle while attempting to stop a cross from Alex Berenguer and had to be helped off the Anfield pitch by medical staff.
A scan on Monday will determine the extent of the left-back’s issue but it is expected to sideline him for at least next weekend’s trip to Carrow Road.
Jurgen Klopp confirmed post-match that Robertson twisted his ankle in the incident but was unable to provide further details on the expected lay-off period.
He said: “We obviously don’t know in the moment how serious it is.
“It was pretty painful and that’s why Andy went off.
“You probably saw it on the TV pictures better than we did, but he got the ball, the ball on the front of his foot [and] twisted the ankle.
“The pain settled already, but we cannot say anything further without further assessment tomorrow.
“He has to get a scan and then we will know more.”
Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw in the game with Athletic, who equalised after the interval as Berenguer cancelled out Diogo Jota’s well-taken early opener.
