The Robertson injury latest after Liverpool’s stunning comeback

Liverpool produced a memorable comeback in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final to overturn a 3-0 deficit against Barcelona and progress to the tournament final in Madrid.

The Reds did the job without the services of Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.3m), while Andrew Robertson (£6.8m) was substituted at half-time of Tuesday’s thriller with a calf problem.

The Scot is set for a scan on Wednesday to determine the extent of the injury and the player himself said after full-time:

It doesn’t feel the best at the minute but I’ll get a scan tomorrow. They’re confident that it’s just a nerve or whatever and it can be maybe a couple of days, but we’ll wait and see. We can’t really comment until I get the scan, but I’ll be saying my prayers tonight.

Jurgen Klopp’s pre-Gameweek 38 press conference later in the week is eagerly awaited, with half a dozen of his players currently flagged in Fantasy Premier League.

The Liverpool boss revealed last night that Robertson wasn’t the only player to cause him concern against Barcelona:

Obviously, tonight was really intense and we started without Bobby, Mo and Naby. Ox was not available but only we rested him – he’ll hopefully be an option for the weekend.

Hendo got an unbelievable kick against his knee, he didn’t feel his patella, and Robbo got the heel of Suarez against his calf. You saw both limping; then Virg goes down, then Sadio goes down, and you think, ‘OK, it would help if we could finish the game with 11!’

So we will see, we’ll again try to collect the bones and go again against Wolves.

We analyse the game itself in our Scout Notes article below.

Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona

  • Goals: Divock Origi (£5.0m) x2, Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.5m) x2
  • Assists: Jordan Henderson (£5.3m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.7m) x2, Xherdan Shaqiri (£6.8m)

Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s (£5.7m) superb run of form continued at Anfield on Tuesday evening.

The Liverpool right-back has registered three consecutive double-digit hauls in FPL and he would have had another had the Reds’ 4-0 victory over Barcelona been a Premier League match, banking a clean sheet and two assists in the comeback win.

Already owned by over 24% of FPL managers at the time of writing and the most-bought defender of Gameweek 38, Alexander-Arnold’s popularity will surely only increase further should Robertson be ruled out of Sunday’s game against Wolves (a large chunk of the Scottish full-back’s 2.3 million owners perhaps needing to look elsewhere).

The frequency of Liverpool goals from open-play crosses or dead-ball deliveries has increased in recent weeks, with Alexander-Arnold and Robertson sharing three assists in the 5-0 win over Huddersfield and all three of the Reds’ strikes against Newcastle coming from crosses.

Three of Liverpool’s goals against Barcelona were similarly sourced, with substitute Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.5m) converting whipped deliveries from Alexander-Arnold and Xherdan Shaqiri (£6.8m) before the Reds’ right-back brilliantly set up Divock Origi (£5.0m) with a quickly taken corner-kick for Liverpool’s fourth.

Klopp said of his young full-back’s ingenuity:

We all know you need luck in this situation [3-0 down] or a genius moment like Trent Alexander-Arnold. I saw the ball flying into the net and I had no idea who took the corner and who scored because it was too quick for me. Now I saw it back and it’s just incredibly smart, two players connected – in this moment it was enough. My God, genius.

Alexander-Arnold set up Virgil van Dijk (£6.7m) for Liverpool’s first goal last Saturday and he almost repeated the trick again last night, with the Dutch centre-back drawing a save from Marc-Andre ter Stegen with a flick from six yards out on 50 minutes.

No defender has delivered more successful crosses or supplied more big chances than Alexander-Arnold in the Premier League since his return from injury in Gameweek 28.

With Salah and Firmino sidelined, Origi and Shaqiri were chosen to join Sadio Mane (£10.2m) in Liverpool’s makeshift three-man attack.

The Swiss winger played his part with an assist for Liverpool’s third goal but looked out of sorts before the interval, understandably so given how peripheral he has been this calendar year.

Origi’s brace (and a winner against Newcastle) should stand him in good stead for a start in Gameweek 38 should Firmino be ruled out, with Daniel Sturridge (£5.6m) not really having convinced at St. James’ Park last Saturday.

Origi is flagged in FPL after limping off on Tuesday but it is thought the Belgian striker was only suffering from cramp.

Speaking after the match, Origi said:

We did so well, we fought and we knew it was going to be a special night. We wanted to also fight for the injured players.

We fought so hard. Robbo’s a fighter and we knew it could have an impact on the players. Even me at the end, I had some cramps.

As was the case on Saturday, Mane emerged from this match without an attacking return to his name.

The Senegal international was magnificent against Barcelona, however, and it was his anticipation in intercepting a Jordi Alba header that led to Liverpool’s first goal.

A constant menace to the Barcelona backline down the left flank, Mane had a first-half penalty shout turned away and set up two early chances – although didn’t manage a single shot on goal himself.

As the FPL midfielder who has recorded the most headed attempts on goal this season, there is every chance that it could be the former Southampton winger getting on the end of an Alexander-Arnold cross on Sunday afternoon.

Jordan Henderson (£5.3m) reprised his role as a more advanced “number eight” on the right of Liverpool’s midfield three and it was the former Sunderland man who claimed the Fantasy assist for the Reds’ opener when his saved shot (from inside the box, underlining his freedom to get forward) was followed up by Origi.

Since his conversion into this more forward-thinking midfielder at the beginning of April, Henderson has one goal and five assists in all competitions.

Liverpool’s backline kept another home clean sheet but Barcelona had their chances, as Klopp acknowledged after the match:

We thought our performance was better than 3-0 at Barca, and tonight probably Barca’s performance was better than the 4-0 here – but it’s a competition where you have to score the goals. They didn’t, we did tonight, we scored one more.

Alisson (£5.9m) was called into making smart (if not spectacular) saves from Lionel Messi, Alba, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho, and Klopp paid tribute to his Brazilian goalkeeper after the match:

And the goalkeeper at the back who makes all these saves! There may be more spectacular goalkeepers out there but he is unbelievable. You think, “how is he there?”

What a performance. They had all these chances, he was always with the body behind the ball. I don’t know how he does it.

Joel Matip (£4.9m) was recalled at centre-half after missing out in Gameweeks 36 and 37, with James Milner (£5.6m) filling in at left-back when Robertson couldn’t continue.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson (Wijnaldum 46′); Fabinho, Milner, Henderson; Mane, Shaqiri (Sturridge 90), Origi (Gomez 85′).

    Can't see many Chelsea assets worth bothering with now they won't be able to sign anyone next season

    Chelsea to sell Hazard and bring in Pulisic as their only business this summer?

    1. Marty McFly

      I think taking the appeal to the AOS means it will be delayed?

        I am almost certain this will not be allowed...I think Barcelona tried a similar tactic previously.

    Do we know when Son’s red card appeal is likely to be heard and what sort of chances we give it of being revoked?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years

      Didn’t even know they were appealing it?

      I am waiting on this too. Can't see any news but guess they will get an answer before the weekend?!

      1. Marty McFly

      Tomorrow or Friday I would guess (as they are busy today). Chances of success are slim or none, and slim has left town.

  6. SuperDan

    In a tough spot in my league with 2FT. Which is best you think?
    A) Robbo, Son > Sterling, 3.8 (play AWB)
    B) Vardy, Son > Rondon, Sterling
    C) Son, Pogba > Hazard, Fraser
    D) Son, Pogba > Sterling, Babel
    E) Jiminez, Son, Hoijberg > Long, Sterling, 4.0 (-4)

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years

      A if Robbo is definitely out.

      1. SuperDan
        • 8 Years

        Thanks. I was leaning that way

      Selling pogba before Cardiff is asking for trouble

  7. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    A) Robbo to TAA (play Jimenez)
    B) Jimenez to Zaha (play Doherty if Robbo is out)

  8. Daghe Munegu
    • 7 Years

    Would you get Redmond if you already had Jwp?

    1. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Too much imo.

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I'd probably punt elsewhere. Babel, Fraser or Mili.

  9. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Best use of a final city spot? Have Kun and Raz.
    A. Bilva and have to play Cathcart or Doherty if Robbo is out.
    B. Laporte/Kompany and get a midfield differential in for Son (anymore up to c. 9mil).

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I should add that with A I would still get a differential forward, but I won't replace Robbo with another defender (have TAA).

  10. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    If Robbo is injured and Son appeal is unsuccessful, how does this look?

    Robbo+Son > Gomez+Hazard

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Gomez is a risky pick for me

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      What makes you think Gomez will play

    3. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Haz has been good for me, but I’m not expecting much from him away at Lei so will probably get rid for Bilva this week

  11. Unimaginative
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    While I tried the draft game last year I really think they could add another playing format to the current FPL game.
    I would really like a hard core version with no chips, no captain and just one wildcard for the season. While I love the strategy and chip planning, especially around double game weeks, I cant help but feel it adds to the amount of luck that is already required to really soar in FPL. Would this be a game mode others would like to see as an option?

    1. mike09
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Or a game mood with a maximum of 1 player from each team.

      1. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        This could be interesting but also supremely frustrating

  12. Player motives and incentives for GW38
    Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    GW38 - Who are the players with motives and incentives?

    Every season at this stage there are players with certain motives and incentives. Players that are either chasing the golden boot, golden glove, personal milestones, new contract, big summer move etc. While others may be on the beach, these players will be extra motivated to do well in GW38. For example Kane towards the end of the 17/18 season scoring consecutive hat tricks. Mahrez had a big haul in GW38 last year just to keep City interested.

    Some names:

    Golden boot contenders: Salah, Mane, Aguero, Auba
    Golden glove contenders: Allison, Ederson
    Personal milestones: Vardy (18 goals, looking for 20), other players looking for 15 or 10 goals etc.
    Big moves: Mitrovic, Zaha, BOU attackers

    Feel free to add others 🙂

      West Ham for top half. Can mean difference between 12th and 9th with a win which will add an extra £6m to club revenue. It’s a big one for them to win

      After THAT big win Salah will be motivated to show he's important too.

      McTominay may be motivated to make a case for next season's starting XI.

      If he starts Rashford may be motivated to step out of Sterling's and TAA's shadow and show he's a relevant 'young English player'.

    12. stat
        4 years, 10 months ago

        The most assists registers by a defender in a PL season, according to OptaJoe, are Baines in 2010/2011 and Hinchliffe in 1994/1995 with 11 assists each.

        According to the Premier League's site, both Robbo and TAA are currently on 11 assists so perhaps there is some motivation to break that record.

              Saw your tweet re captaincy (FFF finishing top). Do you have stats on which poll had the fewest (c) blanks? You can define blanks how you want (perhaps a (c) who scores fewer than 5 pts i.e. 10 doubled)?

              1. stat
                  4 years, 10 months ago

                  I define a blank as a player that scores less than 4 points. In that case, from the sources which made 38 predictions, the one with the least blanks was Adam Levy with 8 blanks (and in fact, one of those isn't really a blank because he had a VC turned to captain that got returns, but I didn't consider that for any site), followed by the Fix algorithm with 9 blanks.

            Great hot topic- was on the lookout for one like this. Main players I was thinking of you’ve already mentioned (vardy, Mitrovic, Zaha). I may bring in Kompany actually- wouldn’t be surprised with a headed goal from him to add to his legendary status. It’s tough to find too many storylines though- glad I didn’t save free hit for this week. Maybe even Townsend actually as a “don’t forget about me” performance

          • St. Joseph

            No pogba then

          • ColdRainyNIght
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            A lot of players mentioned above may face rotation, and thats the worrying part.
            Mitrofic, imo, isnt a good option. He is playing for Fulham for a reason, he is not that good. He wastes a lot of chances, and thats why he failed at Newcastle where shot conversion is key for a striker. Also, I dont think Fulham vs Newcastle is going to be a high scoring game, these teams cant attack for fun, they need spaces. I dont think Fulham will be going forward like crazy, there is no motivation, probably its going to be a quite afternoon.
            Wilson is a good shout, but is he going to start? I am worried about the fact that Bournemouth couldnt break down 9-man Tottenham. Crystal Palace’s defense isnt bad, also the cherries are far too inconsistent.
            I like Marco Arnautovic option. I think he is a great player, unorthodox striker, its hard to defend against him, especially when the Austrian is in mood. But is he going to start??? Thats the big question, if he starts he is in my team with Jimi out.
            Rondon/Ayoze - hard to call, I think Newcastle will score, but they share points between each other and its not a good thing as it is last gameweek, you need to catch a potential haul to up your rank.
            Shane Long for me is a also an interesting option. I think he upped his game, improved a lot, and probably last gameweek he will want to prove that he is worth keeping in the squad, as I think it will be a busy transfer window for the Saints. He used to be scoring braces for West brom, I think he will want to do the same vs Huddersfield, I can see the Saints destroy the Terriers, it is possible, in theory. Thats the game where huge points could be.
            Wilf Zaha is a good option too, but its a safe option, he never hauls, 5 points for me is not enough, I am rather looking for a big haul.

            My Verdict: Long/Arnautovic/Wilson in the order from most appealing to less appealing.

            Must be the dullest GW38 ever. Relegation spots decided, Top 4 decided, next 3 decided. 18 sides on the beach, only 2 contesting anything. Happens to be the top 2, so 3x City, 3x Pool (both will put out their first choice (fit) XI. After that it's pot luck who'll be rested, given a debut, wear flip-flops and so on. I'd have a little more confidence in Leicester and Everton putting in a shift but that's not to say they'd get anything.

              Problem is the beach games are where the goals are. Arguably 2 City defenders/keeper are ideal the way they are grinding it out.

          from El Mundo Deportivo paper in Spain:

          The fourth goal summed it up, a portrait of their failure. “The corner of shame"...“Barcelona were pathetic, As if the only thing in their heads was a monkey hitting a drum, like in the Simpsons, possessed by ineptitude, shame marking every goal. A soulless team led by no one, full of doubts, stupid, sad, inexistent.” Joan Josep Pallas described them as being “as scared as a little lost boy on a beach looking for his mother, as defenceless as a featherweight facing Muhammed Ali’s fists, a rag doll in the hands of Liverpool, who were a gang of revolutionaries before the high bourgeoisie”

            It's the second year in a row that they've blown a three goal lead in a CL second leg game so theirs not going to be a lot of places for the players/staff to hide from the press/fans, I've got the popcorn out to watch it all.

                Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Basically a load of pompous bllx.

            To give us another reason to liquidate this insanely out of date institution?

        8. caldracula
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Would you play Duffy + Boly or take hits to bring in TAA and Laporte? Can afford both.

          Liverpool had the best comeback I could think of last night. Their fans are ecstatic, and they fully deserve to be so. But if they somehow bottle this chance to win the CL, and if City win their last game of the season, then all this will be forgotten in a snap. They have had an amazing season, having watched almost all of their PL games this season, they play with heart and aggression and passion but if they don't win anything, this season will be a waste coz you never know if they can replicate it again next season or if others will strengthen to compete with them. Big chance for them, I sincerely hope they win the UCL as that would be only be fair.

        10. La Roja

          Any else watched first half last night and gone to bed afterwards (it was midnight where I live)?

          Fuming

            • 9 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Watched the last 10 min when they were already 4 up. Did check livescore and when I saw 3-0, had to find a way to watch it. Unbelievable stuff.

            • 6 Years

            No, but did switch off at half-time in 2005 (like you in a completely different time-zone)

          • 7 Years

          Who is better?
          A. TAA, Pogba, Mane, Kun (C)
          B. Robbo*/Doherty, Redmond, Salah (C), Kun

          Ta.

        12. Bobby_Baggio
          • 12 Years

          Which would you prefer pending injury updates please? I'm only 5 points behind ML leader.

          Lloris
          Laporte - Bertrand - Robbo - Valery
          Mane - BSilva - Haz - Jota
          Aguero - Jimenez

          (Foster) - Gray - Duffy - Son

          A) Son > Fraser or Redmond (bench Robbo)
          B) Gray > Rondon (bench Robbo)
          C) Anything else

            How many FT's?

            If only 1 then Son - Fraser/Redmond, if 2 then Jota to Redmond and Son to Fraser maybe?

            1. Bobby_Baggio
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              1 I'm afraid

          3. Kuzser

            a with redmond

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Which to play out of Doherty or Duffy?

          1. Bobby_Baggio
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Doh

        14. cigan
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Best Son replacement?
          I've got 8.7 to spend and can't get Silva as I'm maxed out on City
          Looking at Fraser and Milivojevic atm

          1. The Pesci challenge
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Looking at hazard myself as below

          2. Bobby_Baggio
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Fraser or Redmond

          3. Hart-ake
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Fraser imo. Don’t get a pen taker for one week only.

          4. cigan
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Another option is Son & Vardy > Hazard & Arnautovic/Rondon for -4 but not too keen on taking a hit in the last round

        15. The Pesci challenge
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Is son, Robertson (if not ok) and Jota to hazard, VVD and Babel for a -8 a good move?

          1. Baines on Toast...
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            I would not take a -8 on the final day. Just do Son > someone.

            1. The Pesci challenge
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Would you play Jota?

              1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 10 months ago

                Yes if Moreno plays instead of robbo.

          2. Hart-ake
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Hazard not as strong away from home

          3. cigan
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            -8 is too much for a 1 week punt imo. It is annoying there are no stand out replacements for Son tho so Son & Robertson (if out) to Hazard & someone could pay out

            1. cigan
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

            Keep Jota
            Son to fraser/Redmond/Bilva
            Whatever your prefence.
            Robbo to VVD -4 (if Robbo out)

        16. ZeBestee

          2) Sterling
          3) Redmond
          4) Mane

            I like Mane out of those options.

            1. Kalou
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Avfc82. Salah worth a -4 hit?Would be for Son and would lose Cathcart.
              Only pool I have is mane,leading ml by 4 points.Any help much appreciated!

                4 years, 10 months ago

                Sorry mate, only just seen this. Wait for the outcome of Son's appeal, but if he's def out it looks like a good move.

                1. Kalou
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 10 months ago

                  Thanks mate, you're advice is always spot on.

          Nathan Redmond 6th in the captain's poll. What a time to be alive.

          1. Ohh1454
            • 6 Years

            That's what playing Huddersfield does

            1. Now I'm Panicking
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              A couple of months ago he wouldn't have been in the top 6 Southampton players!

            And Laporte just above him 😯

          Best mid for this week up to 8.8m ?

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            B. Silva

        19. Kuzser
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          What is the best strategy for a final gw if I'm 3 points behind my rival?
          1. get one of his key differentials
          1a. Son-> Pogba
          1b. Doherty-> Laporte
          1c. Son Jimmi-> Sterling Long for -4

          2. play my own game and hope for the best
          2a. Son->Bilva/bilva
          2b. Jimmi-> Zaha

          His team:
          Ederson
          AWB-Laporte-Robbo (Kola doherty)
          pogba-sterling-fraser-jota (tielemans)
          Rashford-Jimmi-Vardy

          My team:
          Foster
          TAA-Shaw-Valery (Doherty Duffy)
          Mane-Salah-Jota-Redmond (Son)
          Aguero-Wilson-Jimmi

          1. Ohh1454
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            I'd play my own game probably go 2b

          2. TheDragon
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Doherty -> Laporte
