News about Andrew Robertson

TEDDY ROOSEVELT, the late American president, once said that nothing in the world was worth having or worth doing unless it meant effort, pain and difficulty. Scotland's national football team have never known any else. It's an ingrained way of life. Shuffling from the RheinEnergieStadion, the well-oiled, hoarse rank of the Tartan Army nursed a mixture of emotions. Pride, relief, anticipation and that old familiar feeling of anguish. When Grant Hanley attacked an Andrew Robertson free-kick after 66 minutes, the game was finely poised, the tension choking the city of Cologne. Two inches to the right and Scotland would have secured only their seventh win in a major international tournament in 34 attempts. Alas, it wasn't to be.

Euro 2024 is now days away and managers from the 24 teams have named their final squad list. With over 600 players across Europe set to feature at this year's European Championship. Here is a breakdown of every Premier League player appearing at Euro 2024 by club.

SCOTLAND assistant manager John Carver says they are now being 'extra cautious' after injury scares for Andrew Robertson and Lawrence Shankland ahead of Friday's Euro 2024 opener against Germany. Manager Steve Clarke has already lost Lyndon Dykes, Ben Doak, Lewis Ferguson, Aaron Hickey, Nathan Patterson and Jacob Brown from his squad for the finals. And Carver said the removal of Robertson and Shankland from yesterday's first day of training in Garmisch-Partenkirchen was a precautionary measure after so many injuries.

Victorian landlords are facing crippling bills after the state government hiked land taxes in 2023 to recoup $1 billion of debt incurred during the Covid-19 pandemic. Property owners are feeling the brunt as the rise in land tax coincides with a series of interest rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of Australia which saw the cash rate rise to a12-year high of 4.35 per cent in a bid to tame soaring inflation. 

Liverpool's Premier League title ambitions took another serious dent as they were held to a 2-2 draw at West Ham on Saturday lunchtime. Jurgen Klopp took the decision to start Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez on the bench and they looked listless as the Hammers led at half-time thanks to the impressive Jarrod Bowen.  The Reds turned the contest around thanks to Andrew Robertson's equaliser, before a fortunate own goal, credited to keeper Alphonse Areola, put them in front.  Michail Antonio headed West Ham level to leave Liverpool trailing Arsenal and Manchester City . Here's Mail Sport's player ratings from the game at the London Stadium.

DOMINIC KING AT ANFIELD: Andrew Robertson bemoaned the wretched combination of wasteful finishing and lax defending that is betraying Liverpool's attempts to become champions. The Scotland international was one of his side's better performers in their ruinous 1-0 defeat by Crystal Palace and it was only his stunning intervention in the 28th minute, when clearing off his own line, that stopped the situation being even worse. Liverpool have had a habit of falling behind in matches this season but often found a way to win. On this occasion, though, they couldn't get away with it as they fluffed a number of glorious opportunities in the second half to give themselves a fighting chance of success.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new Manchester United co-owner, is expected to accept a bid for an exciting youngster this summer. United is eager to strengthen their squad as they prepare for the Premier League Championships for the first time. According to a Sunday Mirror article, United have already identified one of their key transfer targets for the summer.

Exclusive BY MATT HUGHES: Manchester United have held exclusive interviews with the brains trust behind Liverpool's fruitful transfer performance under Jurgen Klopp as they continue to develop their own recruitment. United have held talks with Ludonautics, the sport consultancy and statistical analysis firm operated by Liverpool's former Director of Research Dr Ian Graham, but not for the club, according to Mail Sport. Ludonautics was launched by Graham last year in an effort to provide the reports and analytical services he provided in 11 years at Anfield to other clubs.

IAN LADYMAN AT THE EMIRATES: Jurgen Klopp may have been led to a decision that may or not help his Liverpool team, given the turbulence of a defensive effort so bad it was barely fathomable. The late signing of Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate will not appear prominently on the highlights reel of this strange match at the Emirates, on a day on which neither team seemed quite strong enough to win a Premier League. But it's still important, considering that the Frenchman's one-game suspension may now force Liverpool manager Klopp (below) to field what should probably be his first-choice back four from this point forward. Joe Gomez is back from injury and doing well at left back to plug a hole that was left by Andrew Robertson's long absence, and he's a central defender at heart. When he is fit and firing, he has always been the best and most natural partner for Virgil van Dijk.

Liverpool boosted their Premier League title lead by beating Chelsea 4-1 on Wednesday, despite the likes of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Andrew Robertson in their starting lineup. Conor Bradley, who was deputising for Alexander-Arnold on the night, dazzled on his chance with the first team, scoring a spectacular goal and playing twice in Liverpool's first league match since Jurgen Klopp's announcement that he will leave Anfield in the summer. Elsewhere, reigning champions Manchester City erupted with glee as actor Kevin De Bruyne led Pep Guardiola's side to a 3-1 victory over Burnley, allowing them to remain five points behind leaders Liverpool with a game in hand.

A few lucky mascots were in for a treat as Ghana and Egypt players gathered in the tunnel ahead of kick-off at the AFCON tournament. The Liverpool forward shook the hands of several Ghana players before taking the time to thank the children. The video shows each of the young mascots smiling with a big smile on their faces as they attempt to touch Salah. One fan said, "The smiles on the children's faces are priceless." I wish that all children across our beautiful continent could feel like this always!Thank you for putting smiles on their precious faces!'

After Kostas Tsimikas joined Andy Robertson on the injured list, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp dismissed concerns of a left-back crisis. After a rash of failures that culminated in his collarbone in a 1-1 draw at home to Arsenal, the Greek star broke his collarbone. Utility man Joe Gomez, the central defender who has been playing at right-back for the last week, is the only realistic option with Robertson, who has been out since October with a dislocated shoulder which necessitated surgery, only a few weeks away from returning.

FPL managers have had an extra few days to reflect over their squads ahead of GW9, which is expected to be an enthralling weekend of Premier League football. Liverpool defeated Everton in a Merseyside derby on Saturday, Manchester City facing Brighton after losing consecutive league matches, Chelsea facing Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea facing in-form Chelsea. Managers have learned a lot from the first week's - some good, some bad - and are planning on what is likely to be yet another congested schedule of fixtures throughout the holiday season.

Liverpool made their first Europa League appearance since being in the final seven years ago. As the Reds return from a disappointing previous season, no one who appeared in the final five years ago remains a member of the first-team that has travelled to Vienna. Mail Sport looks at where Liverpool's last Europa League team is now located.

Rio Tinto's mining behemoth has been cleared of any wrongdoing after an inquiry into the missing capsule. The Western Australian Radiological Council, which had been investigating the occurrence, had not found any breaches of WA's Radiation Protection Act by the miner, according to the miner.

How do you even go about accurately judging the value of a transfer? Here at Mail Sport, we've all been given the impossible challenge of determining the deals that look extraordinary. Success both on a team and individual basis, as well as club tenure. Players aren't ranked based on their talent or career accomplishments, but rather, we've examined those who have performed wonders for clubs that have acquired them on the cheap. We're keeping free transfers to a minimum - because they certainly deserve their own list - and prefering frugal purchases. Yes, Real Madrid gained a lot of money from signing Cristiano Ronaldo for a world record fee, but that doesn't make for a particularly interesting list.

With a 6-1 win over Leeds, the Egyptian international snapped a five-game winless streak. Salah doubled Liverpool's lead in the first half with a left-footed finish into the top corner from the left edge of the penalty area. It was his 106th appearance in the Premier League with his left foot overtaking former Liverpool striker Fowler. After a VAR check, the 30-year-old had an attempt called out for offside, but Liverpool put the result beyond doubt in the 64th minute. Cody Gakpo assisted Andrew Robertson's crossing, while unmarked Salah converted his 15th league goal of the season at the far post.

IAN LADYMAN: I remember being in a tiny room at Liverpool's old training ground in January 2018 and hearing Jurgen Klopp discuss Philippe Coutinho's transfer to Barcelona that week. The Liverpool manager's count was one of deep resignation, leaning against the wall. Klopp had been at Anfield for less than two years, but had not won anything at the time, and the Brazilian's transfer to the Nou Camp brought something of a torment right into his plans. It's also strange that we now look back at that time as a lift-off for Liverpool. They had bought Mo Salah and Andrew Robertson the summer before, but the Coutinho contract was a looming deadline, they bought Virgil van Dijk just days before he left. Alisson Becker, a new goalkeeper, and midfielder Fabinho arrived in the summer.

It's not just the first movement of Constantine Hatzidakis' arm that grabs the spotlight, but also the second. On Sunday, the assistant referee's right elbow extends into the area of Andrew Robertson's jaw at Anfield, according to the first one, which will live on YouTube. It's here one that could irrevocably change Hatzidakis' career. After all, how will he ever be allowed to forget it? But it's also the second movement that really tells us what he's thinking. He shrugs his arm a bit more subtly but also more directly back in the Liverpool player's direction, and the message is clear: don't put your hands on me.' Get off me. I am not here for the sake of saying, 'I am not here for the sake of being here.' And here, many hours after what happened, is the nub of it all. Referees and their support staff haven't had enough of it.

Constantine Hatzidakis has found himself in a bit of trouble after elbowing Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson during their match with Arsenal. During Sunday's thrilling 2-2 draw with Arsenal at Anfield, Hatzidakis raised his elbow to the Liverpool defender's throat. Although the Football Association has looked into the situation, the assistant referee was suspended from service.

While the Football Association investigates the incident, the assistant referee who 'elbowed' Liverpool's Andy Robertson has been suspended from service. During the teams' thrilling 2-2 draw with Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday, Constantine Hatzidakis raised his elbow to the Liverpool defender's throat. PGMOL, a company that controls Premier League referee positions, said: "PGMOL will not be assigning Constantine Hatzidakis to fixtures in any of the competitions it plays, but the FA is investigating the incident involving assistant referee and Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson at Anfield.'

KING DOMINIC: Andrew Robertson's eyes were wide and blazing as Mohamed Salah attempted to lead him away. He had the sort of look you'd expect from someone who had just been mugged to sport - the shock, disbelief - as realisation kicked in. 'He's just f***ing elbowed me!' Robertson went to Salah. His anger would have been plausible had he been cracked on the chin by an opposing player, but by an assistant referee? Just as you feel you've seen it all before in football, it's then that something confuses you. As Liverpool and Arsenal's players went off at halftime, Constantine Hatzidakis had certainly elbowed Robertson.

MARK CLATTENBURG: Howard Webb's weekend was not the best for him. As if the VAR scandals weren't bad enough, he now has to deal with an allegation of an assistant elbowing a player at Anfield on Monday. I've reviewed the video, and all the angles point to Andrew Robertson's contact with Constantine Hatzidakis before the official replied by swinging his arm. Hatzidakis' elbow happened to catch Robertson on the chin while doing so. Webb will now speak with Hatzidakis to hear his side of the story. He should ask Robertson what happened, as well as Robertson.

'A point at Stamford Bridge isn't the one that will define our season,' Andy Robertson said. We've all struggled away from home, and we'd have fixed it by now if we could put our finger on it.' We need to get that right from now to the end, and if we want to be ranked for anything, we're going to have to fix that, especially late in the London night. His honesty revealed how bad Liverpool has been on their travels this season. Because in essence, Jurgen Klopp's side has perhaps already been characterized for the current season.
