With the Merseyside derby fast approaching, Liverpool are sweating on the fitness of Andy Robertson. The first choice left back was sent back early from Scotland duty early due to what appears to be a substantial looking shoulder injury.
โObviously heโs hurt his shoulder,โ said Scotland boss Steve Clarke. โWeโll have a look, [heโll] obviously go back to his club.โ

Liverpool FC Team News
The news is more certain, and brighter, when it comes to Dutch striker Cody Gakpo.
โHe is already out of the brace,โ manager Jurgen Klopp said right before the final match preceding this international break.
โ[He] walks normal around, so from all the very, very bad opportunities and possibilities injury-wise, I think he nearly got the best but is still injured.โ
It was initially expected that he would be back after this set of internationals anyway.
Young midfielder Stefan Bajcetic had a comeback from a long injury layoff, but it only lasted one whole appearance. He has a fresh injury concern, but it is not thought to be too serious. He could best be described as “a doubt” for this one.
Finally, you don’t write a Liverpool Team News article without mentioning Thiago Alcantara, as he is always ruled out of whatever the next upcoming match is, due to injury.
But he is still in light training, so that is something positive to say about his potential comeback.
