Nightmare Liverpool international break forces Jurgen Klopp decision

The international break has come back to haunt Liverpool once again as Andy Robertson joins the list of casualties.

While the injury to the Scotland captain isn't as bad as first feared, as the ECHO revealed this week, it is severe enough to rule him out of this weekend's clash against Brighton and Hove Albion. Robertson limped out of the friendly against Northern Ireland for Steve Clarke's side - a game in which Conor Bradley netted his first international goal.

However, needless matches wedged within the season have proven to be critical for the Reds. Joe Gomez, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah and Roberton are among those to have spent time on the sidelines as a result of problems picked up on national duty.

The latest round of needless international fixtures has provided another selection headache and addition to the injury list, just as it appeared to be easing.

Sunday's visit of Roberto De Zerbi's side was earmarked for the return of Curtis Jones, after suffering an ankle injury against Brentford. Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jota have been sounded out for comebacks in the following games.

Alisson is likely to sidelined until the end of April after injuring his hamstring on the eve of the 4-1 win over the Bees. However, Caoimhin Kelleher has enjoyed his run in the first-team with several standout displays between the sticks.
