"Robbo is part of the team tomorrow evening. He has been part of this squad for so many years. I am happy to have him, and I am glad he is available because that is not normal for us right now. He will be part of the team and nothing is happening on this side. It's hard to say anything definite in this world we are in, but I expect him to stay."
"Another part of Liverpool's decision to keep Robertson is because of their injury issues in defence, with Slot confirming Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate will not face Qarabag. Gomez was taken off with a suspected hip injury after colliding with Alisson during their dramatic defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday, with no timeframe placed on his return. Konate, meanwhile, is still away from the side after recently dealing with a family bereavement, leaving just one senior centre-back in Virgil van Dijk available to Slot."
Arne Slot confirmed Andy Robertson will remain in Liverpool's squad for the upcoming Champions League match against Qarabag and that he expects Robertson to stay at the club this month. Tottenham reportedly approached Liverpool about a potential £5m move for the Scotland captain, who has fallen down the pecking order after Milos Kerkez's arrival, though Robertson has still featured 22 times this season and wants more first-team football. A transfer could depend on Liverpool finding a replacement, with Kostas Tsimikas currently on loan at Roma without a recall clause. Liverpool face defensive absences as Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate are unavailable, leaving Virgil van Dijk as the only senior centre-back.
