Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson is set to feature in the Champions League final against Spurs after picking up a knock in the previous stage of the competition, according to the Mirror.
The full-back was ejected from Liverpool’s emphatic 4-0 semi-final win against Barcelona that saw them progress to the final.
Since then, the 25-year-old has featured in the Reds’ final match of the season against Wolves, however, the player has admitted he was struggling.
Speaking about his fitness, he said:
It wasn’t the best on Sunday and I could feel it during the game, but I wanted to play and was desperate to get out there.
The adrenaline kept me going and the fact a lot of us have played through pain, not just me.
Despite struggling on the final day of the season, Robertson is adamant that he will be ready for the final, especially with gaffer Jurgen Klopp giving the squad some well earned resting time ahead of the final in Madrid.
Luckily now we’ve got a couple of weeks to recover and get our bodies right – and we’ll know we’ll be as fresh as we can be going into the final.
The Scotsman has been one of Liverpool’s standout players of the season, registering 13 assists in all competitions this season. The defender also featured in the PFA Team of the Year, along with several other Liverpool teammates.
Klopp’s men are to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League after Spurs pulled off a thrilling comeback against Ajax, drawing 3-3 and going through on away goals.
