Andy Robertson’s right arm is in a sling, fueling speculation that the Liverpool star will miss significant time.

The defender was injured in a collision with goalkeeper Unai Simon just before halftime of Thursday’s 2-0 loss to Spain for Scotland.

The Scottish captain departed the field on a stretcher, evidently in distress, and his national team manager was unable to comment on the severity of the injury.

Injured players are returned to their respective clubs as is customary. Steve Clarke announced on Tuesday that Andy has returned to Liverpool.

His injury is nothing Liverpool can’t handle. It’s a shoulder injury, which Liverpool will undoubtedly manage.

Yes, next month would be perfect if he can make it. If he can’t play for his team next month, then maybe he can return to action as soon as feasible.

According to the newest rumor in The Mirror, Robertson may not be able to play again until next year due to an injury.

If this is indeed the case, it would be devastating news for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool, since the 29-year-old is widely regarded as one of the world’s top left backs.

After eight games, the Reds sit in fourth place, three points behind leaders Tottenham. They will play the Merseyside derby against Everton on Saturday.

Important games against Manchester City in November and Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle in December would be lost if Robertson were to miss the rest of 2023.

Cody Gakpo and Stefan Bajcetic are doubtful to play against Everton, although there is optimism that Thiago Alcantara and Caoimhin Kelleher will return to action.

Although teenage left-back Luke Chambers, who recently made his debut for the club, has apparently also suffered a slight injury, Klopp can call upon Kostas Tsimikas, who recently signed a new four-year contract with Liverpool, to substitute.

Since joining the Reds in 2020, Tsimikas has made 65 appearances, however he has only seen four minutes of league play this season.
