But in the summer, things could be very different as Tsimikas will likely return, but whether he stays is another thing.Robertson is out of contract in the summer but he could still sign an extension, but if he does, that will likely be the end of Tsimikas’ Anfield career.If he leaves on a free transfer, though, then the Greek defender might be kept around as the experienced one who can help Kerkez develop, as more change might not be a good thing.For now, all he needs to do is keep plugging away because if he does this, then he might give Arne Slot a selection headache when he returns.
