EPL: Liverpool defender out with ligament damage
Liverpool left back Andy Robertson said on Monday he had sustained ligament damage in Sunday’s 1-1 friendly draw with Athletic Bilbao.
The injury will rule the Scotland international out of Liverpool’s Premier League season-opener at newly-promoted Norwich City on Saturday.
“Scan suggests nothing too major but there’s some ligament damage which will need to mend. I will be grafting every day so I can help the team again sooner rather than later,” he said on Twitter.
