Team News and Injury Update

Liverpool didn't come through unscathed during the international break, with Andy Robertson suffering an ankle injury in Scotland's game against Northern Ireland.

There is some good news for the Reds, though, as scan results showed the Scot avoided serious injury to his ankle ligaments, per The Athletic.

He is expected to be sidelined for just days and not weeks, with his status for Sunday's clash against Brighton and Hove Albion remaining uncertain.

Robertson has already missed 13 league matches this season after he dislocated his shoulder in Scotland's match against Spain back in October.

Among the key players who will miss the weekend game against the Seagulls are goalkeeper, Alisson, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Brighton also have a number of key players out for Sunday's game. Kaoru Mitoma remains sidelined with a back injury, while Solly March is also out with a knee issue.
