Liverpool handed Andy Robertson injury concern as Jurgen Klopp braces for huge blow
Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson was forced off with injury in the first half of Scotland's international friendly against Northern Ireland on Tuesday night.
The defender started for the second time in five games for his country at Hampden Park. After playing the full 90 minutes in the 4-0 defeat to the Netherlands, the Reds star was named in the starting XI tonight.
However, his 63rd international appearance ended early as he was forced off after 37 minutes. Steve Clarke's men fell 1-0 behind courtesy of Conor Bradley's first goal for his nation before Robertson was on the receiving end of a Trai Hume challenge.

The severity of the injury issue is currently unclear, with Clarke expected to provide some sort of update after the game. However, Liverpool will be sweating over the fitness of the 30-year-old ahead of the final two months of the 2023/24 season.
Jurgen Klopp's men are currently competing for the Premier League title and Europa League, looking to add to February's Carabao Cup win.
Robertson has managed just 20 appearances for Liverpool this season. A shoulder injury kept him out from October until January and he has made only three league starts since returning.
Liverpool currently have 12 games - minimum - left to play in the remainder of the season starting Sunday afternoon against Brighton. Klopp's men are still to face Manchester United, Everton, West Ham, Tottenham and Aston Villa.
