Liverpool’s Robertson A Doubt For UCL Opener Against Napoli
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed left-back Andy Robertson is facing a late fitness test to be ready for the club’s Champions League clash with Napoli on Tuesday.
Robertson featured and went 90 minutes for Liverpool in their 3-1 victory over Newcastle this past weekend.
“Robbo didn’t train today and we have to see,” Klopp said. “ It is not a major thing, it was more precautionary today, but it is not 100 per cent sure [he will be available].
“We will have to test it tomorrow and then we will see.”
While Robertson was named in the team’s 20-man traveling squad for the Napoli contest, striker Divock Origi was not, with Rhian Brewster taking the Belgian’s role as among the back up options for the front line.
