Scotland’s manager, Steve Clarke, provided an injury update on Andy Robertson, the Liverpool defender, who sustained a shoulder injury during the match against Spain.
Robertson collided with Unai Simon during Scotland’s 2-0 loss to La Roja.
As he left the field, accompanied by two medical staff members, he improvised a sling to support his arm and was substituted by Nathan Patterson.
“Obviously, he hurt his shoulder. We’ll have a look and he (Robertson) will go back to his club now,” Clarke told reporters.
Robertson’s injury has put Scotland in a spot of bother as his backup, Real Sociedad’s Kieran Tierney, is also out nursing a hamstring injury.
“It always seems to happen when you lose one player in a position. We lose Kieran, then Andy picks up a shoulder injury. We’ll see how it is and how it settles down. Hopefully he’s good for his club as soon as possible and ready to help us in November,” Clarke added.
Robertson is set to sit out Scotland’s upcoming friendly against France on Tuesday, and there are doubts about his fitness for the upcoming Merseyside Derby against Everton at Anfield on October 21.
