According to one article, liverpool has’reached out’ to fulham in january for antonee robinson. Andy robertson and kostas tsimikas are currently out of the reds’ senior left-back lineup. Robertson is expected to return to action in january after shoulder surgery, while tsimikas suffered a fractured collarbone in the draw with arsenal on december 23. As a result, joe gomez has been pushed into the role of left-hander of liverpool’s back line. Jurgen klopp stressed the precariousness of the situation ahead of the boxing day victory over burnley. “is joey gomez playing all the games up for me now until – i don’t know when – robbo will return?” he asks. Klopp said that he was a “skeptic.”
I don’t know if kosti will be out for a while, but we’ll see. I didn’t have time to think about it yet, but someone will do it, i’m pretty sure. It’s really tough for us, it’s really tough. “you have injuries, and we all accept them, but a fractured collarbone is really bad because it takes so long.” The same injury as robbo, but it takes longer, as we all know. “we all know we need luck in these situations to get through, and we’ll just have joey in the hospital and make sure he’s always ready for the games,” he said.
According to 90min, the reds have met with fulham to discuss a january contract for 26-year-old left back robinson. Despite signing a new five-year deal at craven cottage this summer, the united states international is reportedly open to a move and liverpool is “now working in the hopes of settling an agreement with fulham,” according to the club. There is no indication of how much fulham will pay robinson as a transfer fee. The milton keynes-born defender was born in liverpool and attended everton’s academy and was even named under-18s player of the season in 2015. He has three assists in 18 outings for marco silva’s team so far in 2023/24.
Liverpool could also consider recalling owen beck from his loan spell at dundee, according to 90min’s report, in order to give klopp more specialist left back options in the short run. There are two other options at the academy, according to luke chambers and calum scanlon. Both teenagers made their europa league debuts for liverpool earlier this season.
