Andy Robertson went off with his arm in a sling <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Scotland captain Andy Robertson will return to Liverpool to have a scan after suffering a shoulder injury in the 2-0 defeat to Spain in Seville.<\/p>\n
Robertson was forced off late in the first half of the Euro 2024 qualifier following a challenge from the Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon.<\/p>\n
The left back appeared to have suffered a dislocation and left the pitch with his arm wrapped in his shirt, which he was using as a makeshift sling.<\/p>\n
Scotland went on to lose their first match of their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, following Scott McTominay\u2019s controversially disallowed goal.<\/p>\n
It means Scotland could be forced to go to Georgia in November needing a result, unless Norway fail to beat Spain in Oslo on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Robertson could be missing for the fixture but the more immediate concern is upcoming games for Liverpool, with the Merseyside derby against Everton a week on Saturday on October 21.<\/p>\n
Scotland manager Steve Clarke has already ruled Robertson out of Tuesday\u2019s friendly against France and said the defender will now undergo a scan back at Liverpool.<\/p>\n
“It was an immediate decision to take him off, he\u2019ll go back to his club, he\u2019ll be assessed,” Clarke said.<\/p>\n
“Obviously he\u2019s hurt his shoulder. We\u2019ll have a look, obviously go back to his club. Always seems to happens when you lose one player in a position: we lose Kieran (Tierney) on the left side and then Andy\u2019s picked up a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019ll see how it is, see how it settles down and hopefully he\u2019s good for his club as quickly as possible and he\u2019s ready to help us in November.”<\/p>\n
