In a potential setback for Liverpool, star player Andy Robertson was forced off injured during Scotland’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Spain. The Scotland captain left the field just before half-time, cradling his right arm, after a collision with Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon during a 50-50 ball challenge.
The injury, speculated to be a dislocation, raised concerns for Scotland’s qualification hopes and posed a significant blow for Liverpool. Robertson, who has played every minute for Liverpool in the Premier League this season, could face an extended absence if the injury proves severe.
As Robertson left the pitch, Everton’s Nathan Patterson stepped in as his replacement. talkSPORT commentator and former Scotland striker Chris Iwelumo expressed the severity of the situation, stating, “It doesn’t look good at all… Dislocated you’d imagine. You can just see the worry in his face.”
The outcome of the Euro qualifier remained uncertain as Robertson exited the game. Scotland’s qualification for the finals in Germany could hinge on their performance in Seville or Norway’s outcome against Cyprus on the same night. If successful, Scotland could secure qualification before England, adding a layer of anticipation to their Euro 2024 campaign.
