Arne Slot does not expect a lengthy absence for Andy Robertson after the defender was forced off with a knock during Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Wolves on Saturday night.
Robertson limped off the pitch following a challenge from Carlos Forbs and was replaced by Joe Gomez in the 89th minute at Molineux.
However, Slot remains optimistic that Andy Robertson will be fit to train when the Reds return to the AXA Training Centre on Monday.
“I don’t expect this to be a big problem, although you never know, but I think he just got a knock,” said Arne Slot.
“End phase of the game, maybe he was a bit tired as well because the guy who came in – Forbs, I knew him, of course, from the Dutch competition – he made it a real fight for him.
“He got a bit of a knock but I’m expecting him to be in training on Monday again, but let’s wait [and see].”
Slot has made history by becoming the first Liverpool manager to win each of his first three league away matches.
The 46-year-old led his team to a 2-1 victory against Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday evening, adding to earlier wins at Manchester United and Ipswich Town during the opening weeks of the 2024-25 season.
Speaking after the game at Wolves, Slot said: “For the long term you have to look at the performance.
“I don’t think we started well but you have to give credit to Wolves.
“They overloaded our right side a lot with many players.
“That’s why it was difficult at the start but second half we came out much better.
“The energy and intensity was much higher than the first 15 minutes.
“I saw the first goal and what stands out is the patience we have. In general we were much more patient.”
He added: “Pre-season helped.
“The players started to believe.
“We have a lot to prove when we come across the top sides.
“It’s good that we are where we are at the moment.
“I always try to be realistic, Jurgen’s work has been fantastic.
“We have to prove we can do it in the Champions League and Premier League.”
