Liverpool suffer blow with defender sustaining shoulder injury

Liverpool have suffered a big blow with defender Andy Robertson suffering a shoulder injury on international duty for Scotland.

The left-back has been ever-present for Liverpool in the Premier League this term and he has made several key defensive contributions.

The club have now sustained a setback with Robertson dislocating his shoulder during the first half against Spain on Thursday.

He has been sent back to Liverpool to assess his condition, but it is highly likely that he will be sidelined for the next few months.

The news is a big blow for the Merseyside giants, considering Kostas Tsimikas has been unconvincing as the back-up left-back.

The Greek has the odd error in him and he was recently guilty of conceding the first goal against Leicester City in the League Cup third round.

Fortunately, the Reds came on top with a comeback win. Tsimikas needs to stand up in the coming months in the absence of Robertson.
