Just ahead of last night’s total destruction of Toulouse, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed that first choice left back Andy Robertson underwent shoulder surgery, so he is now set to miss the remainder of 2023.
So that means the position will now likely belong to Kostas Tsimikas for the time being. Klopp has a few more absences to contend with, ahead of hosting Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Curtis Jones will serve the third and final game in his suspension while Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara remain sidelined. Here is where we would have typically do our “Thiago is always out injured for every game” joke, but this time, we’ll just skip it.
Klopp hinted at what his first team will be for this match, indicating that a lot of squad rotation is coming.
โThursday-Sunday is not great but itโs something weโve known for long enough, so thatโs fine,” the German said.
โThe boys who didnโt play [Thursday] will have a proper session [Friday] so thatโs good, they stay in training. But if we would play always the same team like we did in the past in theย Champions League, then thereโs no training at all, itโs just recovery and go again.
