Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Andy Robertson faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines following his shoulder injury while on international duty with Scotland last week.
“I think the decision we go towards surgery,” said the Liverpool boss during Friday’s press conference. “There was a little chance that he could try without.
“But after talking to pretty much all experts, it looks like surgery will be the best thing, especially in the long term, definitely. And that means he is out for a while.
“I don’t know exactly how long but shoulder surgery is not an easy one. From my experience, you can train pretty quickly again but not football-specific because you have to be careful, challenges and all these kind of things. So, yeah, he’ll be out for a while.”
