BREAKING NEWS – Scotland provide Andy Robertson injury update after Liverpool star forced off in Spain

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson is likely to miss next Saturday’s Merseyside derby against Everton at Anfield after suffering an injury while playing for Scotland

Scotland manager Steve Clarke has confirmed Andy Robertson won’t play against France on Tuesday due to his shoulder injury.

Robertson hobbled out of Scotland’s 2-0 defeat in Seville on Thursday after being clattered by Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon. The Liverpool defender was clutching his right arm and is a major doubt for next Saturday’s Merseyside derby against Everton at Anfield.

Clarke is hopeful Roberson, who is Scotland’s captain, will be fit for November’s Euro 2024 qualifiers against Georgia and Norway. Yet the left-back has returned to Liverpool for treatment and it’s unclear exactly how many games he’ll miss for club and country.

Scotland are already without one left-back, with Real Sociedad’s Kieran Tierney nursing a hamstring injury. “We’ll have a look and he (Robertson) will go back to his club now,” Clarke told reporters. “It always seems to happen when you lose one player in a position.

“We lose Kieran then Andy picks up a shoulder injury. We’ll see how it is and how it settles down. Hopefully he’s good for his club as soon as possible and ready to help us in November.”

Clarke won’t miss Robertson too much in Scotland’s game against France at Lille’s Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Tuesday, as that is just a friendly. Liverpool fans were immediately worried about their first-choice left-back after Simon made contact with him.

“If the goalkeeper gets the ball, he can take everything else with him and Unai Simon has done just that,” said former Scotland winger Pat Nevin, while working as a commentator for BBC Radio 5 Live. “Andy Robertson took a big, big hit there.”
