Arne Slot has been urged to reconsider his decision to drop Andy Robertson ahead of Liverpool’s return to action against Manchester United this weekend. Robertson has lost his place as the Reds’ first-choice left-back this season following the summer signing of Milos Kerkez, with the Scot having started just two games for his club so far.

Kerkez has got the nod in all of Liverpool’s Premier League games, although he has struggled to settle in and has faced criticism for his performances, with Gary Neville particularly scathing after saying he looked like a “baby” during the recent defeat to Chelsea. Robertson, meanwhile, captained Scotland to back-to-back wins over Belarus and Greece to strengthen his nation’s hopes of reaching a first World Cup since 1998, and now he has been backed to reclaim his spot in Slot’s side.

I think changing the two full-backs – Andy Robertson has been absolutely brilliant this week for Scotland – has been an issue.
