Andrew Robertson is set to return from injury for Liverpool’s trip to Fulham in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, while Trent Alexander-Arnold could face Norwich City in the FA Cup on Sunday.
Left-back Robertson dislocated his shoulder while playing for Scotland in October. He chose to have surgery to repair the defect and reduce the risk of injury.At the time, Jurgen Klopp acknowledged Robertson’s long-term absence and the player himself did not reveal a return date.
However, Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders has confirmed that Robertson will be part of the away team for the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Fulham.”Let’s start with Lobo, who trained with the team yesterday. Now at 13 weeks she has an appointment with the surgeon to make sure everything is in order for full contact. Of course it is. So he’s been working hard lately and he’s rehabbed well, so for sports science he’s healthy.
Now he will be ready for a good team training,” Linders said at a press conference on Tuesday. I’ve been waiting a long time. He is one of our captains. I met him in the cafeteria and he said: “Pep, I brought you a tracksuit!” said. So he pushes himself into the team. It’s a good thing. He’s going [to Fulham].’Alexander-Arnold has been sidelined with a knee injury of late and Lijnders expects the right-back to return to training later this week ahead of Sunday’s trip to Norwich.
“Trent is making good progress in his rehabilitation, he’s working hard, we know how he’s doing as a person and how important the next few weeks are.” “But he will be back in team training later this week so hopefully he will be available for the FA Cup,” he added.
