‘Disappointing to see’: Alexander-Arnold comments on what happened during Liverpool’s friendly yesterday

Trent Alexander-Arnold admits that he fears that Andy Robertson could be out for some time with injury now, on the club’s official website.

Worried

Robertson limped off during Liverpool’s friendly clash with Athletic Bilbao yesterday.

The Reds drew 1-1 in the contest, in what was a lively encounter.

Ordinarily it would have been seen as a good pre-season work-out, but the game was marred by an injury to Robertson.

The Scot twisted his ankle and is set for scans to assess the severity of the problem today.

While Liverpool are yet to confirm just how long Robertson will be out for, Alexander-Arnold is fearing the worst.

“No, I haven’t seen him, to be fair, but I think you know it’s going to be quite bad if Robbo has to come off,” the right-back said.

“It’s not something that he normally does so it’s disappointing to see, but I’m sure he will bounce back as soon as he can.”

A big blow

If Liverpool are without Robertson for the start of their campaign it will be a major blow.

Liverpool suffered badly with injury last term, and can ill afford a similar season this time around.

If Robertson does miss the start of the season, which now looks likely, it could give Kostas Tsimikas the chance to impress though – with the Greek having a strong pre-season.

Liverpool are due to kick their season off at the weekend, when they take on Norwich City.
