Robertson out for three months after shoulder surgery

Robertson faces lengthy absence after requiring shoulder surgery, sidelined for up to three months.

  • Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson is set for shoulder surgery following an injury sustained during a match against Spain in the Euro 2024 qualifiers. The injury took place while playing for the Scottish Football team.
  • The surgery will sideline Robertson for up to three months, which means that he will not play for Liverpool again until 2024. He will miss key Premier League matches against Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arsenal.
  • Without surgery, Robertson could have potentially returned to the field within four weeks. However, this plan carried a significant risk of repeated injury. After discussions with the club's medical staff, it was decided that surgery was the most sensible course of action.
  • Kostas Tsimikas, the Greece left-back who has been bench-warming at Liverpool, is set to replace Robertson. Other potential replacements include Liverpool youngsters Luke Chambers and Calum Scanlon.
  • This will be the longest absence of Robertson's professional career, since his move to Liverpool in 2017. Throughout his career at Liverpool, he has made 275 appearances.
