Overview
- Robertson joined up with Scotland and trained on Wednesday after limping off at Stamford Bridge, indicating he is ready for World Cup qualifiers against Greece and Belarus.
- The Liverpool vice-captain said he "can’t wait" to play for his country, easing fears from the late challenge he took against Chelsea.
- Milos Kerkez has been Arne Slot’s preferred left-back this season, leaving Robertson without a Premier League start and limited to cup and European appearances.
- Kerkez’s recent displays drew sharp criticism from pundits including Gary Neville, increasing scrutiny on the position during the international break.
- Centre-back Ibrahima Konaté is with France but has been held out of training as his quad issue is assessed, and Giovanni Leoni remains out for the season with an ACL injury, tightening defensive depth.
