Injured with the selection during the defeat against Spain (0-1), Scottish left-back Andrew Robertson had to leave his teammates on the La Cartuja field before leaving the rally due to an injury to his shoulder. And the news is not good from Liverpool. At a press conference before hosting Everton at Anfield for the Mersey derby, Jürgen Klopp announced the operation of his number 16, synonymous with a long unavailability of the Tartan Army full-back (62 caps, 3 goals) .

“We decided to go for the operation. There was a chance he could do without it but after speaking to experts the operation will be the best thing for him in the long run. He will be away for a while, I don’t know how long,” the German coach told journalists. Although the duration of his absence has not been communicated, the English media are talking about three months for the 29-year-old defender. Hard blow for the Reds, who will play 7 matches until the next international break between the Premier League, the Europa League and the EFL Cup.
