Liverpool made the eagerly anticipated return to a near-full Anfield on Sunday afternoon in the penultimate pre-season clash against Athletic Bilbao.
The Reds took the lead in the first half through Portuguese forward Diogo Jota before Alejandro Rameiro levelled the match after half-time.
There was reason for concern before the break, however, when ever-reliable full-back Andy Robertson twisted an ankle attempting to block a cross before being helped from the pitch.
The 27-year-old took to Instagram following the match to give a glimmer of hope to Kopites that the issue may not be as serious as first feared.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp confirmed after full-time that the severity of the problem won’t become clear until after a scan today (Monday).
Last season Robertson made 49 appearances across all competitions – including an outing in every Premier League match.

Fingers crossed the star’s positivity is well placed.
Albeit a relatively innocuous incident, the turn of the ankle was and instant reaction from teammates was a worrying sight.
However, the £58.8million valued (Transfermarkt) Scot was able to put weight on the foot and a positive social media post may spell good news.
In terms of positives elsewhere, the performance of Harvey Elliott, in particular, was a joy to behold and the 18-year-old may have just played himself into contention for Norwich City away next Saturday.
It seems almost certain Robertson will be unavailable for that trip, handing an opportunity to Kostas Tsimikas.
