Andy Robertson’s injury has surfaced ahead of Everton’s match against Liverpool on October 21.
Following Scotland’s 2-0 loss to Spain on Thursday, October 12, manager Steve Clarke disclosed (through Paul Joyce) that the left-back had suffered a shoulder injury.
The 29-year-old was seen leaving the pitch with his arm in a sling, and the Scottish manager announced that he would be returning to Anfield and will not be participating in any more international matches.
Given his ugly-looking shoulder injury, it appears improbable that Robertson will recover in time to play against Everton the following week.
The fact that Scotland has already sent him home illustrates the severity of the injury and the reality that the Liverpool defender won’t get better quickly.

He is one of the team’s leaders and provides stability at the back in addition to an attacking threat, thus the Reds will be severely hurt by his departure.
This implies that Konstantinos Tsimikas will probably have to step in for his teammate on the left side of the defence, according to Jurgen Klopp.
Even though the Toffees have a difficult game ahead of them, Robertson’s injury likely increases their chances of winning when they visit Anfield.
