First-choice Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson will be hoping to get back from his injury soon and help his teammates. The full-back underwent a surgery on his shoulder after sustaining an injury for Scotland in last month’s international matches. This has kept him out of action for now and the club had to deal with his absence in other ways on the pitch. Credit to Liverpool for still managing to maintain their level despite Robertson’s absence.
Andy Robertson has now provided an update on his progress. “Yeah, getting there, slowly but surely. Surgery was a success, which was the main thing, no complications from it. So far, so good. I think I’m about three weeks since my surgery now, so everything is progressing well. Just bit by bit, got to take it week by week. Everything has gone well up to this point and hopefully that continues and then hopefully before we know it I’ll be back on the grass,” the Liverpool full-back told Viaplay Sports.
Saying how he is not looking too far ahead on the road to recovery, Robertson said, “I’ve not looked that far ahead yet [to a possible return date]. I’m just trying to take it week by week. I’m trying to not get frustrated, I’m not the best [when] injured. I’m trying to just take small wins every single week. I don’t want to put a game in mind and then I don’t make it or I come back before then. I’m just taking it slowly but surely just now, and then there’ll be a time to start pushing it – and when that comes, I’ll try to get on the pitch as quickly as I can.”
Meanwhile, young Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones has opened up about his journey at Anfield and how much he has developed at the club. “I feel it and I’m trying to sound like it as well! Definitely. There has been a huge change in the team and I’m one of the ones who has been here – it’s mad to say, I’m only 22 – but I’ve been here [since] 17. There’s lads who are coming in now and it’s their first time around the team, so I’m like an experienced one who has been around the whole of the thing for a long time,” the club’s academy player told on the upcoming episode of the We are Liverpool podcast.
He added: “So, yeah, even though I’m young I do feel like I’m one of the experienced ones and know how the manager and staff like [us] to go and play. He’s spoken about it a lot the way I’m the first one to go and press and things like that. Now, I was a kid who came in and pressing and defending were never a thing for me! ‘No, I don’t need that part of the game.’ Now that he’s picking up on it loads and he’s spoken about it, just goes to show how much that I’ve actually changed.”
Jones also feels that he now has the trust of manager Jurgen Klopp and wants to keep this form going. “I feel I’m at a point now where he [Klopp] understands, ‘OK, we can bring him on if the team is getting beat because we know he can pop up with a goal or he can create something, or he can start in a big game because we know what we’ll get from him is going to be hard work, he will go and press, he won’t hide if the other team is on top, he will want the ball still, he’s not scared.’ So, I feel like I’ve gained his trust. But I’ve still got a long way to go. I’m on 100 games but I feel it’s just the beginning and I want to just carry on and hold the form and keep it going,” he explained.
