Andrew Robertson returns to Liverpool training ahead of Fulham clash
Jurgen Klopp's side are currently 2-1 up on aggregate, following a come-from-behind victory against the Cottagers at Anfield two weeks ago.
The Reds are now set to be boosted further by the return of their influential full-back who has been out for over 3 months with a dislocated shoulder.
Robertson picked up the injury on international duty with Scotland back in October, when they were beaten 2-0 away in Spain.
The 29-year-old has since missed Liverpool's last 21 matches in all competitions, with Kostas Tsimikas and Joe Gomez stepping in to deputise.
Positive news has arrived though, as assistant Pep Lijnders told the press ahead of the Fulham clash: "[Robertson] trained yesterday with the team. It's now 13 weeks, he had his meeting with the surgeon to make sure that everything is right to go into full contact and it's clear.
«He did a lot of work and really good rehab throughout the last period, so he's fit in terms of sports science. Now he has to get fit with proper team training.» Lijnders added.
«That's a big, big advantage to have him back. We were waiting for a long time. He will travel [to Fulham]. If he trains well today, the medical team have said it's a coaching decision, so he's in.»
Gomez had been required to play in an unfamiliar role at left-back over the past five games, after Tsimikas picked up an injury of his own against Arsenal towards the end of 2023.
