LIVERPOOL have been dealt yet another injury blow ahead of Saturday’s clash against Arsenal as Andy Robertson limped off in Scotland’s 2-0 win over Denmark.
The 27-year-old star started in the World Cup qualifier at Hampden Park as Steve Clarke’s side recorded their sixth consecutive victory.
But he was withdrawn from play late on after hitting the deck with a suspected hamstring injury in the 79th minute.
He hobbled off the pitch alongside Scotland physios where he was replaced by Scott McKenna.
The Merseyside outfit will now sweat over the fitness of the ex-Hull defender, who could be forced to start Greek ace Konstantinos Tsimikas or James Milner at left-back against the Gunners.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are looking to avoid back-to-back defeats in the Premier League after losing 3-2 against West Ham.
And they could be leapfrogged in the table by Arsenal should Mikel Arteta’s men win at Anfield for the first time since September 2012.
Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson is already a doubt to feature after being sent home from England’s squad due to injury.

And winger Sadio Mane was taken off before half-time in Senegal’s clash against Togo after hurting his ribs while challenger for a header.
Liverpool are now waiting on the results of an X-ray to determine the extent of the injury.
Meanwhile Joe Gomez and Naby Keita could also be absent, along with Curtis Jones and James Milner.
One player that will definitely miss the visit of Arsenal is Brazilian striker Roberto Firmino, with Klopp confirming earlier this month he faces four weeks on the sidelines.
He said: “Bobby is not good news with a serious hamstring injury, really unfortunate.
“We don’t know exactly how long he will be out but it will be not now after the international break directly. We have to work on that.”
