Liverpool receive positive Andy Robertson news after injury sustained on Scotland duty - but Brighton clash still a major doubt

Robertson limped out of Scotland's 1-0 defeat to Northern Ireland in midweek, and there were fears that he could potentially miss the title run-in. Liverpool play three games in eight days from Sunday onwards; they face Brighton this Sunday, then Sheffield United on Thursday and Manchester United the following Sunday. The subsequent Thursday, they come up against Atalanta in the Europa League. Nevertheless, the Daily Mail reports that the ankle injury Robertson has suffered is not as serious as first feared.

Liverpool do not expect to have the left-back fit for this weekend's clash with Brighton, and Jurgen Klopp will have a number of selection headaches. Both Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold are also likely to miss out, meaning the German tactician will have to call on two deputies at full-back.

Robertson has already seen his season disrupted by injury, as he missed 13 Premier League games between October and January due to a dislocated shoulder. That injury was also sustained on international duty.

Liverpool go into this weekend's game against Brighton sitting second in the Premier League table, level on points with Arsenal but with a worse goal difference. With the Gunners playing Manchester City, Liverpool will feel they must win this weekend.
