Topic: Andy Robertson (Andrew Henry Robertson MBE)

[Mozology]

Would have snapped your hand off for that prognosis during the replays yesterday.

Agreed

The video going around looked horrendous, thought we'd be lucky to see him before Christmas the way his foot buckled.

Thankfully we haven't the hardest opening set of fixtures.

[royhendo]

Completely depends on the severity. Can rule out grade 3/rupture from that statement so we've got 1 or 2 left

Grade 1 = 3 to 4 weeks
Grade 2 = 4 to 6 weeks

My guess would be after the international break

Marvellous news!

[Welshred]

Like I said yesterday inversion injuries can sometimes look worse than they actually are.

[Peabee]

Like I said yesterday inversion injuries can sometimes look worse than they actually are.

Is that because the ligaments don’t require as much force (to be injured) as when it’s injured rolling outwards? Are the ligaments on the inside a lot stronger, so the greater force needed to injure means a lot more damage?

[CHOPPER]

Very true, someone needs to tell him to man up a bit.

Never heard of inversion injuries in Sunday league .

Probably not to be honest. There's just more movement into inversion than there is eversion so you get a little more give. It just looks horrible when you go into end range at high speed but your ligaments, muscles and proprioception quickly save you in most cases, it looks nasty all the time but that doesn't always seem to be the case.

[HardworkDedication]

Klopp didn't put a timescale on Robertson's return. He said he is not sure whether he would be back before or after the international break. The Chelsea game is the last game before the international break and Leeds is our first game back.

[David Struhme]

For fucks sake. What's the point of these stupid friendlies

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Fitness. The same as it always been.

[TepidT2O]

2-3 games then..

[jepovic]

Lost phalange happens almost every game though

Yeah I see. They’re quite common aren’t they?

what I was getting at was that the ligaments damaged from an inversion (lateral?) can be damaged from a small tear, whereas the medial would need more force, which is what you’ve said but obviously more clearly. So an inversion injury can usually be quite minor. It’s like that bracket on a rear derailleur that has more give than the derailleur to prevent more damage.

What a take that is! Might as well jib off stupid training as well.

[afc tukrish]

Seems a rather Spartan step to take...

Might need to hoplite right to it...

[dutchkop]

so the Lost Phalange muscle has been found and will keep Robbo out till before or after Sept Int break

Kostas has put in a good performance this pre-season and looks fighting  fit.

Looking forward to Milner and others coaching Kostas & supporting him when he plays.

he cross for Bobby's goal was Robbesque so could be a sign of things to come

[royhendo]

You're a good sport mate.

[dutchkop]

You're a good sport mate.

Nearly 50 years of supporting the Reds - gives you a thick skin and fantastic memories.
I played 2 seasons with The london branch Red supporters on Hackney Marshes in our Liverpool red shirts when I was not watching the team live win everything (88-90's)

 

[TepidT2O]

Picture of him out side running round the training pitch.

I would imagine this weekend comes too early as he’s not trinaung with the team, but you’d imagine that he’s got a proper chance of Chelsea.

[Nick110581]

Made of tough stuff

[Welshred]

Would have been a grade one sprain which is great news

[TepidT2O]

Chance of making it for Chelsea?

[Kashinoda]

So they fixed the phalange?

[Welshred]

Chance of making it for Chelsea?

If he's running now then yes. Imagine the aim would be back in training early next week.

[TepidT2O]

Thought he’d have a shout….


I’m a bit worried about Chelsea. Big Virj is very rusty and Lukkaku is a handful… the stronger we are the better.

[afc tukrish]

Tightened the rows, fixed the hoplon straps, new rod for the sarissa...

Run dem laps!

[RainbowFlick]

Fuckin hell what a machine.

Hopefully we don't rush him back and let Tsimikas have a couple games to hopefully iron out those weird moments he seems to have. He seems a decent deputy and possibly a slightly better dribbler than Robbo.

[Sangria]

Tsimikas likes this.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Thought he’d have a shout….

Well he's got another game to dust off the rest, especially with Burnley's physical strikers so by then hopefully he's much sharper.

[MD1990]

so Robertson may only miss the first 2 games.
That is ideal.
Gives him extra rest from the Euro's

We should be able to play Tsimikas in some more CL games this season too

How old is Tsimikas? Looking at his attacking play in pre season and against Norwich, the lads got some ability, dribbling, crossing, has his head screwed on to check and come back too. Robbo’s the best and one of my all time faves, the best there is for me at left back but I would like to see a bit more of him, Curious to see where he could go especially under Klopp.

Chelsea will be won or lost by the way we close and pin them down and stop the counter and not one player though.
That said, Lukaku has improved from what he was, but he's no Drogba. He can - and has - been muscled out of games and Virg is also smart enough to sit on him and is not in any way weak himself.

Mind you, this could also be the perfect chance for Konate as well if there is any doubt and if needs be I'd quite fancy Phillips as well. We now have those choices and can take a horses-for-courses approach. Sit Fabs in front and that mitigates a lot as well.

I've got a similar thought process. Excited to have Robertson back but also curious to see what more Tsimikas has to offer.

[So… Howard Philips]

Great deal of knowledge about the disposition of a Macedonian PHALANX but no awareness of the Lebanese FALANGE militias.

So there.

They found it. It was in his Scottish pistons all along. 

[Smudge]

Tsimikas best left back in the league. Can't see Robbo getting a sniff any time soon.

[jonnypb]

According to James Pearce…..

Good news for #LFC. Andy Robertson back in full training after ankle injury. Tomorrow likely to come too soon but should start v Chelsea next weekend.

[TepidT2O]

Told you all
