Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson is set for a scan on Wednesday following the injury that saw him substituted in their epic Champions League win against Barcelona. Robbo scan to determine season Scotland captain Robertson was withdrawn at half-time in Tuesday's semi-final second leg at Anfield after sustaining a blow to his calf in a collision with former Reds star Luis Suarez. Georginio Wijnaldum, the defender's replacement, went on to score twice as Liverpool completed a remarkable turnaround, winning 4-0 to prevail 4-3 on aggregate. Sunday represents the last day of the Premier League season before focus shifts towards the June 1 final in Madrid, and Liverpool will be desperate to have Robertson available. "It doesn't feel the best at the minute but I'll get a scan [on Wednesday]," Robertson told the club's official website. "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." Liverpool host Wolves on Sunday, knowing a victory combined with Manchester City dropping points at Brighton and Hove Albion would see them crowned champions of England for the first time since 1990. Jürgen Klopp's men lost Naby Keita to injury for the rest of the season in the first leg against Barca, while Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah both sat out the return fixture, with Ajax or Tottenham awaiting in next month's final at the Wanda Metropolitano.<doc-sep>The Scotsman was substituted against Barcelona after Luis Suarez cynically injured him but the Daily Record claims that scans have shown Robertson has managed to avoid serious injury. Since joining the Reds before the start of last season, the 25-year-old has emerged as a key performer under Jurgen Klopp. His game is very balanced and has shown that while he is a very strong defender, he is equally good going forward and has assisted 13 goals in all competitions this season. When he was taken off as a result of injury against Barcelona, Liverpool fans feared the worst but his replacement Georginio Wijnaldum scored two goals to make a dramatic comeback possible. With the Champions League final now three and a half weeks away, Jurgen Klopp will be encouraged by the news that his reliable left back has avoided serious injury. The Daily Record reports that Robertson underwent scans to assess the severity of his injury. The results indicate that he hasn’t suffered ligament damage or a broken bone. He will undergo further tests today to discover the true nature of his injury but the report claims that neither Robertson nor Liverpool’s medical staff fear that there is any serious damage done. Robertson is unlikely to be risked against Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend in the final Premier League game of the season and will be forced to watch from the sidelines. There is still a (slim) chance that Liverpool can win the Premier League title on Sunday but it will require City to slip up against Brighton and if they do, a win against Wolves will secure the title for Jurgen Klopp’s men. After the dramatic show Liverpool put on against Barcelona, supporters will refuse to rule out any late heroics in the Premier League.<doc-sep>Andy Robertson missed the second half of Liverpool's remarkable comeback against Barcelona after he was injured by Luis Suarez but the full back got the last laugh with his brilliant post match interview. Luis Suarez promised before Barcelona's Champions League semi final second leg against Liverpool that he wouldn't celebrate if he scored at the ground he used to call home for three years. That didn't stop the Anfield crowd booing the Barca striker for his fouling, diving, general shithousery and for the fact that he had celebrated a week earlier in the first leg, after scoring the opening goal. Loading… Advert 10 However Suarez was left with egg on his face on Tuesday night because not only did he not get the chance to not celebrate but Liverpool won 4-0 to overturn the three goal deficit and go through to the final. The biggest impact on the game the Uruguayan had was injuring Andy Robertson so the Scottish full back couldn't play in the second half, with his replacement Georginio Wijnaldum scoring twice. After the match Robertson was asked about the fact that he was injured by Suarez and the former Hull City player had the perfect response: Andy Robertson on Luis Suarez: "I don't care, who's going to the final?" - Anfield HQ (@AnfieldHQ) May 7, 2019 Advert 10 Whilst Robertson couldn't continue in the second half it was his replacement and fellow full back Trent Alexander Arnold who had the biggest impact on the game. The Reds had dominated much of the first half but only had the one goal to show for it, needing three without reply just to take it to extra time. Wijnaldum's impact was swift as he scored in the 54th and 56th minutes to put Liverpool 3-0 up and set for extra time. With the added 30 minutes looming Alexander Arnold's quick thinking at a corner allowed Divock Origi to score his second of the night and send them through to the final, and Robertson was clearly delighted: Advert 10 WE'RE GOING TO MADRID :heart::heart: - Andrew Robertson (@andrewrobertso5) May 7, 2019 Jurgen Klopp's side will now face either Ajax or Spurs, with the pair playing their second leg on Wednesday, and a chance at redemption having lost in the final last year.<doc-sep>
Liverpool are going to the Champions League final in Madrid. After last week's 3-0 loss at the Camp Nou to Barcelona, that sentence never looked like it was going to be written anywhere. But last night, Jurgen Klopp's side produced perhaps the greatest comeback of all time to beat the Blaugrana 4-0 at Anfield. Braces from Divock Origi and Gini Wijnaldum gave Liverpool a deserved win on the night to book their place in the final. The visitors were dreadful pretty much throughout as they were simply unable to match Liverpool's intensity and pressing. What makes the result even more astounding is the fact the Reds were missing Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Naby Keita from the start. Then, with the score only 1-0, key left-back Andy Robertson was subbed off at half-time after being kicked by Luis Suarez. Not bad pulling off that kind of result without four key men... After the game, Robertson was asked about his clash with Suarez and he gave a quite brilliant response. The Scotsman simply replied when asked about the Uruguayan: “I don’t care, who’s going to the final?” Fair play, Andy. Klopp will be hoping that his star left-back can shake off the injury he picked up during the game before the final in Madrid. While James Milner deputised admirably in his position in the second-half, Liverpool simply are not the same team without their marauding left-back. Robertson has provided 11 assists in the Premier League alone this season and is so key to Klopp's side as an attacking force. Regardless of who progresses out of Ajax or Tottenham, Liverpool will go to Madrid as the favourites to claim their sixth Champions League crown. What a job Klopp has done on Merseyside.
