LFC News – Robertson ‘injury’ explained and Adrian future update

Must read

Scotland have provided an update after Andy Robertson left training ahead of Euro 2024, while more news has developed on Adrian‘s future at Liverpool.

 

Robertson ‘injury’ explained

Euro 2024 begins on Friday evening, with Robertson’s Scotland taking on hosts Germany in the opening game (8pm BST).

The Liverpool left-back limped out of an open training session on Monday, however, leading to doubts over his involvement later this week.

Thankfully, Robertson’s withdrawal has been described as a “precaution” by coach John Carver, and he is expected to train again on Tuesday.

Fitness issues have started creeping in for the 30-year-old, who missed a big chunk of the 2023/24 season.

It looks like he will lead his country out against Germany, though, on what will be an immensely proud night for him.
