Robertson to miss Liverpool's Premier League opener against Norwich

Robertson limped off at the end of the first half of the match at Anfield as he attempted to block a cross.

Robertson was helped off the pitch after he sustained the injury in the pre-season friendly against Athletic Bilbao.

Liverpool left back Andy Robertson said on Monday he had sustained ligament damage in Sunday's 1-1 friendly draw with Athletic Bilbao.

The injury will rule the Scotland international out of Liverpool's Premier League season-opener at newly-promoted Norwich City on Saturday.

"Scan suggests nothing too major but there’s some ligament damage which will need to mend. I will be grafting every day so I can help the team again sooner rather than later," he said on Twitter.

Liverpool wrapped up its pre-season friendlies with a 3-1 win against Osasuna on Monday. Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara both made their first pre-season appearances for Liverpool in Monday's match at Anfield.
