Andy Robertson: 'I'll Be Saying My Prayers' Ahead of Scan on Calf Injury

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson said he'll have a scan on his calf on Wednesday to determine the extent of an injury that forced him off at half-time in the Reds' 4-0 win over Barcelona. 

The Scot suffered the injury after Luis Suarez appeared to kick out at him in the UEFA Champions League semi-final clash on Tuesday, in which the Reds battled back from a 3-0 defeat in the first leg to secure a place in the final.

Per Sam Williams for Liverpool's official website, Robertson will await a scan with bated breath:

"It doesn't feel the best at the minute, but I'll get a scan tomorrow. 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 tonight."

Robertson had to be replaced by Georginio Wijnaldum after being caught by Suarez (UK and U.S only, respectively):

Wijnaldum's arrival at half-time had an enormous impact on the game, which the Reds were leading 1-0 following Divock Origi's early opener.

The midfielder netted twice in two minutes to see the Reds match Barcelona on aggregate, before Origi bagged his second in the 79th minute when he and Trent Alexander-Arnold caught Barca cold from a corner (U.S and UK only, respectively):

Robertson celebrated Liverpool's progression to the final on social media after the match:

On his clash with Suarez, he told BT Sport (h/t ESPN FC):

"Who's going to the final? We are. That's all that matters. Gini went on [for me] and scored two. I don't care right now.

"I've said so many times this season but what a team. We believe. People wrote us off. But we believed if we got off to a good start we could do it."

Sports writer Stefan Bienkowski was pleased for Robertson:

The 25-year-old arrived at Anfield for an initial £8 million fee in 2017 and he has become one of the best left-backs in the world during his time at Liverpool.

He has been a key part of a Reds defence that has shipped just 22 goals in 37 Premier League matches this season, losing only once.

At the other end of the pitch, his exceptional delivery into the box has rewarded him with 13 assists in all competitions.

Robertson has until June 1 to get fit for the final, and Liverpool will be desperate to have him available opposite Alexander-Arnold for the width they provide on each flank.

If he's not able to make it, they'll at least be able to take some encouragement from their fine second-half showing against Barcelona without him.
