Liverpool’s astonishing series of bad luck at the front turns out to be joining through Andy Robertson.
Last month, in the end, it can become the decisive thing in the 2020/21 crusade of Liverpool, champions of the Premier League.
This is because Jurgen Klopp’s team has been devastated by injuries.
First, the tie between the club and Merseyside’s derby with Everton in October, Virgil van Dijk injured his knee, which deserves to see the Dutchman marginalized for the rest of the campaign.
Then, two weeks later, when he replaced absent van Dijk, Fabinho was affected in the Midtjylland Champions League clash, after suffering a corva tendon problem.
This was followed by Trent Alexander-Arnold, who joined an increasing list of injuries at Anfield last weekend, when England’s foreigner caught a calf problem, which left him missing about a month’s action.
And, incredibly, some other defensive move for Jurgen Klopp’s men comes this week when, after limping out of England training, Joe Gomez was forced to solve a problem on his right knee.
The 23-year-old, as shown through Liverpool, is now expected to miss the campaign maximum.
The misfortunes of the English champions were not limited only to the front of the injuries, Mohamed Salah also tested positive for Covid-19 while on the outside service with Egypt:

And, as mentioned above, just when things may not be much worse for Jurgen Klopp and company, another defensive fear gave the impression at Anfield.
Liverpool’s last star in his fitness?Andy Robertson.
Left-back Robertson, of course, a member of the Scotland team who booked their place in the previous European Championship this week with a penalty shoot-out victory over Serbia.
The 26-year-old, however, is not among those who have climbed 12 meters for the tartan army.
Speaking in a post-match interview, Robertson went on to reveal that this was the result of the hamstring flu final exchanges in Belgrade.

As such, it has since been unknown whether the cap should be on the next outing of his country, unlike Slovakia this afternoon.
Robertson, in the end, however, failed.
A 1-0 defeat for the Scots in their last League of Nations match did not see the Reds star play any role, having been included in Steve Clarke’s Team of the Day.
The move comes after the Scottish technician admitted before sunday’s start of the match that there is still a “question mark” about the participation of his star defence.
As such, Jurgen Klopp will certainly look forward to an update on Robertson, as he sees the genuine option that Liverpool might be forced to take the lead in opposing Leicester next weekend without the club’s first selection.
