Andy Robertson is facing a battle to play again this calendar year after it was decided he needs surgery on the shoulder he dislocated in Scotland’s loss to Spain over the international break.
The Liverpool left-back departed the field in clear discomfort in the match last Thursday and travelled back to Merseyside for several days of medical tests. After receiving multiple opinions on the best course of action, the club and player decided surgery was the sensible outcome.
Robertson is likely to have the surgery next week and has been quoted a timescale of around 10 weeks of recovery depending on how rehabilitation goes.
