Robertson back next week & 2 more positive injury updates – Latest LFC News
Three significant Liverpool injury updates have emerged from Thursday’s news, while the Reds are also said to be interested in signing a prodigious talent this summer.
Liverpool handed Robertson injury boost
The sight of Andy Robertson limping off for Scotland in midweek was concerning, but some promising news has emerged regarding the severity of his ankle injury.
The Independent‘s Richard Jolly, even suggests a return against Sheffield United could be on the cards:
“The left-back underwent scans after being forced to go off on Tuesday but they confirmed that he suffered no major damage.
“Robertson is set to miss Sunday’s home match against Brighton but could return for Thursday’s meeting with Sheffield United, and should to fit for the trip to Manchester United on 7 April.”
Other sources have indicated likewise, with an absence of ‘days’ rather than weeks anticipated.
While we can all but rule out Robertson for Sunday’s Premier League meeting with Brighton at Anfield, this has to be considered good news.
