Liverpool’s left-back, Andy Robertson, suffered an injury during Scotland’s World Cup qualifier match against Austria, lasting only 37 minutes before being forced to leave the pitch. Robertson had already missed a significant portion of Liverpool’s season due to a shoulder injury in October, and his current ankle injury is causing concern for both club and country. Scotland manager Steve Clarke stated that Robertson will return to Liverpool for further assessment, hoping that the injury is not serious.

The potential loss of Robertson would be a significant blow for Liverpool in the Premier League title race, especially since fellow full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is also currently injured. With young prospect Conor Bradley filling in at right-back, Liverpool’s defensive depth would be severely tested if both starting full-backs are sidelined. Liverpool are currently second in the Premier League standings, behind Arsenal on goal difference, with both teams in a tight title race alongside Manchester City.

Liverpool’s upcoming match against Brighton will be crucial in their title pursuit, as a win could see them temporarily go top of the table ahead of City’s clash with Arsenal. Both City and Arsenal are dealing with injuries to key players, with Kyle Walker and John Stones doubtful for City, and Bukayo Saka withdrawing from England duty. The tight title race is sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats as the season progresses.
