Liverpool star Andy Robertson has updated fans on his fitness following his return to action in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Ipswich Town. The 30-year-old left-back had been sidelined for over three months last season due to a shoulder injury, but he battled through the pain barrier to feature for Scotland at Euro 2024. Despite Scotland’s early exit from the tournament, Robertson continued his rehabilitation during the summer through individual training, with limited pre-season minutes.
Robertson made his return to the Liverpool starting lineup against Ipswich, where he showcased his quality by attempting 11 crosses, making five recoveries, one tackle, one clearance, and one interception. His performance helped the Reds secure a victory at Portman Road.
Looking ahead to Liverpool’s upcoming match against Brentford, Robertson is optimistic about his fitness levels after a „pain-free“ outing against Ipswich. Speaking to Liverpool’s official website, Robertson reflected on his journey back to full fitness, highlighting the challenges he faced during his recovery period.
The experienced defender expressed his satisfaction with his physical condition after months of playing through pain, revealing that he is now feeling free of discomfort for the first time in five months. Robertson credited his dedication to maintaining his fitness levels during his time away from the pitch, emphasizing the importance of staying mentally engaged with the team’s tactics and philosophy.
As Liverpool continues to adapt to new playing styles and strategies under manager Arne Slot, Robertson acknowledges the learning curve ahead for both himself and his teammates. Despite feeling some fatigue towards the end of his return to action, the Scottish international is determined to build on his current form and contribute effectively to the team’s success.
Robertson’s positive update on his fitness will come as a relief to Liverpool fans, who will be eager to see the influential full-back maintain his performance levels in the upcoming fixtures. With his determination and commitment to his recovery process, Robertson’s return to peak condition bodes well for Liverpool’s prospects in the season ahead. As he prepares to face Brentford in their next match, Robertson’s presence and leadership on the pitch will be crucial for the Reds as they aim to secure more victories and climb the Premier League table.
