In the thrilling aftermath of Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Wolves, all eyes turned to defender Andy Robertson, who was forced off the pitch late in the match due to a heel issue. The Scottish left-back's exit raised immediate worries among supporters, but manager Arne Slot has reassured fans about the severity of the injury.

During a tense encounter at Molineux Stadium, Robertson sustained the injury during a physical exchange with Wolves substitute Carlos Forbs. Despite his replacement by Joe Gomez, Slot addressed concerns over the Scotland captain's condition, indicating that he does not anticipate any serious issues. “I think he just got a knock toward the end of the game, possibly because he was also a bit tired,” Slot mentioned, expressing optimism that Robertson would be fit to resume training on Monday at the AXA Training Centre.

Liverpool's win not only secured them the top spot in the Premier League but also saw a crucial Mohamed Salah penalty after Diogo Jota was fouled, showcasing the team's resilience. Slot acknowledged the challenges posed by Wolves, who had a tactical advantage with an extra week to prepare under manager Gary O’Neil. He noted how Wolves’ strategy in the opening minutes made it hard for Liverpool to control the game.

“We were ready for this challenge, but Wolves started strongly, which put us under pressure. Once the intensity from them dropped, we started to take charge,” Slot explained. The team's performance improved, leading to a first-half goal from Ibrahima Konate, but Slot admitted surprise at conceding a goal in the second half, deeming it avoidable.

With players like Dominik Szoboszlai making significant impacts on the pitch and major matches ahead, every Liverpool fan will be hoping for a swift recovery for their captain. As the team gears up for the intense fixtures coming up, Slot’s positive outlook on Robertson’s fitness is a breath of fresh air. Stay tuned for more updates as the season progresses!
