Andrew Robertson said he is “progressing well” but declined to provide an estimated timetable for his potential comeback to action after a shoulder injury.

The full-back suffered a dislocated shoulder after he collided with Unai Simon during Scotland’s international break loss to Spain.

Robertson, 29, had to have surgery to fix the problem because of worries that the ailment would recur in the future. This kept him out of play for a considerable amount of time.

Robertson observed Scotland’s 3-3 draw with Norway in their final Group A match as they, along with Spain, qualified for Euro 2024.

Providing an update to ViaPlay Sports, Robertson said:

“Yeah, getting there, slowly but surely. Surgery was a success, which was the main thing, no complications from it. So far, so good. I think I’m about three weeks since my surgery now, so everything is progressing well. Just bit by bit, got to take it week by week.

“Everything has gone well up to this point and hopefully that continues and then hopefully before we know it I’ll be back on the grass.

“I’ve not looked that far ahead yet [to a possible return date]. I’m just trying to take it week by week. I’m trying to not get frustrated, I’m not the best [when] injured. I’m trying to just take small wins every single week.

“I don’t want to put a game in mind and then I don’t make it or I come back before then. I’m just taking it slowly but surely just now, and then there’ll be a time to start pushing it – and when that comes, I’ll try to get on the pitch as quickly as I can.”

Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has been using Kostas Tsimikas as his primary left-back option in Robertson’s absence in recent weeks. Fortunately for the Reds, the Greek international has shown well in his role as a stand-in, recording two assists in a particularly strong performance against Brentford before the November international break. The player just signed a new contract at Anfield.
