In your Liverpool FC morning update, the latest on Andy Robertson and another injury concern emerges for Jurgen Klopp ahead of the upcoming clash with Everton.

Liverpool is gearing up for the highly anticipated Merseyside derby at Anfield this weekend as they return to Premier League action. However, the international break has proven to be a costly one for Reds’ manager Jurgen Klopp. He’s now certain to miss Andy Robertson for the forthcoming crucial match, with the left-back sustaining a severe shoulder injury while representing Scotland.

To compound the issue, there is growing concern within the Liverpool camp that Robertson might require surgery. But that’s not the only injury worry Klopp is grappling with.

Liverpool awaits an update on Andy Robertson’s injury while fearing the need for surgery.

Andy Robertson dislocated his shoulder shortly before half-time during Scotland’s 2-0 Euro 2024 qualifying match against Spain last Thursday, where he had a collision with home goalkeeper Unai Simon. Following the incident, he was immediately substituted and has since returned to Merseyside to assess the extent of the injury.

The club is now on the verge of learning whether the 29-year-old left-back will need an operation to repair the damage, a development that could potentially keep him out of action for a substantial period. This adds to the challenges faced by Jurgen Klopp’s squad as they continue to compete on multiple fronts.

Liverpool has been dealt a fresh injury setback as they await an update on the fitness of winger Ben Doak, which poses another potential headache for manager Jurgen Klopp in the lead-up to the Merseyside derby on Saturday.

Ben Doak had to withdraw from the Scotland under-21 squad for their UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifier against Malta on Tuesday due to a fitness setback. The 17-year-old winger, who was even considered a possible inclusion in the Scotland senior team’s squad for a friendly against France on the same night, had to be substituted shortly after the hour mark in the U21’s 3-1 victory over Hungary on the previous Friday, despite earning and scoring a first-half penalty.

Liverpool is currently awaiting more information about the nature and severity of Doak’s injury, but this added uncertainty is an unwelcome concern for Jurgen Klopp as he grapples with availability issues for the upcoming Everton clash
