Liverpool News: Andy Robertson to play injured for Scotland
GETTY Liverpool's Andy Robertson injured his wrist playing for Scotland on Thursday
The Liverpool left-back hurt his wrist during Thursday’s win over Slovakia. National boss Gordon Strachan feared he had broken it but Robertson has been given the all-clear to travel to Slovenia on Saturday. The 23-year-old is adamant it would have taken something serious to rule him out of tomorrow’s clash in Ljubljana. A win could see Scotland land second place in Group F behind England. He said: “I will be okay. I will put a wrist protector on or I will just strap it up, but I should be alright for Sunday. “I landed on my arm and then I couldn’t really feel anything so I was worried a bone might be broken, but the doc seems quite happy with things and he doesn’t think there is anything broken.”

Robertson has urged the whole of Scotland to stand behind the team. “We have done everything we can and now we are right in the mix,” he said. “If we can perform like we have in the last couple of games it will get us through. “It will be heart-in-mouth stuff but the whole nation will be behind us.” Meanwhile, Kieran Tierney reckons Scotland’s late winner against Slovakia shows Strachan was right to substitute him at Hampden Park. The Celtic defender, playing at right-back, was replaced by Ikechi Anya eight minutes from time and the tricky winger went on to deliver the cross that led to Martin Skrtel’s own-goal. Tierney, who is sure to be a starter in tomorrow’s showdown with Slovenia, was delighted his replacement had such a huge impact in the game.
