Overview
- Arne Slot benched Milos Kerkez for the 1-0 win over Real Madrid on 4 November, with Andy Robertson impressing on his return.
- Supporters reacted by urging Liverpool to keep Robertson starting and limit Kerkez to a secondary role for now.
- Reporting linked to the club’s recruitment team indicates no plans to sign a replacement left-back in the upcoming windows.
- Separate reports claim Liverpool intend to extend Robertson’s contract beyond 2026, which has not been confirmed by the club.
- Kerkez’s scrutiny reflects an inconsistent start to the season and follows pundit Craig Burley’s view that Virgil van Dijk’s on-field gestures may have hurt the youngster’s confidence.
