Andy Robertson has provided Liverpool with welcome injury news ahead of the October international break. However, he has linked up with his international colleagues despite the concern, and the defender has now expressed his eagerness to pull on the Scotland shirt once more during the break, after seeing his first-team chances restricted at Anfield this campaign.

"I think he's about to get dropped for Andy Robertson. "I think he's going to have to bring Andy Robertson back into the team.

"And it has panned out pretty much how we thought it would at the time, that Kerkez would start in the team but Andy would find his way into the team. "On the plus side for us, if he's getting good minutes for Liverpool but not getting all the minutes, it means he comes into Scotland camps probably a little bit fresher than he has been in recent years, which can only be good for us." When Liverpool returns to club action following the international break, it will welcome Manchester United to Anfield.
