Andrew Robertson To Undergo Surgery – Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that the club’s left back, Andrew Robertson will undergo surgery to fix the injury he sustained during the October international break.

Scottish defender, Andrew Robertson was injured in a challenge with Spain goalkeeper, Unai Simon on October 12 during the Euro 2024 qualifying match, and he had to leave the field with his arm covered in a shirt.

Greece’s Kostas Tsimikas could start at left-back for Liverpool in place of Robertson when Everton visit Anfield at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 21.

So far this season, Tsimikas, 27, has started only against LASK Linz and Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League, and a League Cup third-round victory over Leicester City.

Joe Gomez, a defender who typically plays centre back or right back, or Luke Chambers, a 19-year-old, could also play left back if necessary, according to coach Jurgen Klopp.

While giving an injury update on Andrew Robertson, Jurgen Klopp said, “The decision we go towards is surgery.

“That means he’s out for a while. I don’t know exactly how long.”

Klopp added: “There was a little chance that we could try without but, after speaking to pretty much all experts, it looks like surgery will be the best thing, especially in the long term.

“In my experience, you can train pretty quickly again but not football-specific because you have to be careful of challenges and all these kinds of things so he will be out for a while.”
