Overview

• Milos Kerkez was booked for simulation and withdrawn after 38 minutes at Burnley as Arne Slot moved to avoid a potential red card in a 1-0 win.
• Andy Robertson replaced Kerkez and said he will push to reclaim the starting role after considering but ultimately rejecting a summer move to Atletico Madrid.
• Football Insider reports, citing club sources, that Slot intends to rotate Robertson and Kerkez more regularly following the Hungarian’s scratchy start.
• Former chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Kerkez could struggle to reclaim his place and may face an extended spell out of the XI.
• Robertson publicly backed Kerkez as Liverpool’s future starter and Virgil van Dijk said the 21-year-old is learning the system and will be fine.
