Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has confirmed he is fit for Sunday's match with Leicester

It's good news for the Reds as Andy Robertson has confirmed he's fit and ready to go ahead of Liverpool's crunch title match against Leicester on Sunday.
Robertson suffered a hamstring injury during the international break with Scotland and was not named in the squad against Slovakia last Sunday.

Earlier in the week, there are reports from media outlets in England that Liverpool's entire first-choice backline against league leaders Leicester, with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all injured. 


Robertson played the full game against Israel on Wednesday and confirmed he would be back to bolster Liverpool's defence against Leicester.

He told the Liverpool website: 'I just got a tighter hamstring than usual against Man City, first and foremost. Then obviously the game on Thursday for Scotland was a huge one and 120 minutes and penalties had took its toll on me.


'Sunday, I wasn't ready and just took a bit more time to recover from the game. But there wasn't any real concerns about it.


'It was just the [risk] of doing anything worse to the hamstring was quite high on Sunday and the manager made the call not to play me. Wednesday, I was good to go.

'Now I'm ready to go for Sunday, I feel fully fit, I feel ready. I know some people were quite concerned but I suppose with the amount of injuries we've had, people have become used to it. But I'm fully fit and ready to go.'


Klopp also namechecked defensive midfielder Fabinho and even Scotland captain Robertson as options in central defence.

Robertson's return will therefore be greatly welcomed as Liverpool face table-topping Leicester and in-form striker Jamie Vardy on Sunday
