Liverpool manager Klopp confirms Robertson has shoulder surgery

LONDON: Liverpool defender Andy Roberson has undergone surgery on the shoulder injury he suffered while playing for Scotland. Robertson sustained the damage in a collision with Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon during Scotland’s Euro 2024 qualifying defeat earlier in October. The left-back, who has played eight league games and scored one goal for Liverpool this season, was replaced by Kostas Tsimikas for last Saturday’s Merseyside derby win against Everton.

He faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was unable to pinpoint an exact date for his return to action.

“Robbo had surgery and all went well, as good as it could be, so the recovery starts after he wakes up,” Klopp told reporters on Wednesday.

“I think it happened this morning. That’s it. We don’t know how long it will take or whatever, but the first step is done, that’s good.”

Klopp could make widespread changes for the visit of Toulouse to Anfield in Europa League Group E on Thursday. Agencies
