Liverpool’s injury fears are being addressed as a new claim emerges of Jurgen Klopp’s ‘burden’

Liverpool have more than a month to go before they return to action ahead of the new Premier League season.

New head coach Arne Slot will be in charge of pre-season training next month at the AXA Training Centre. After evaluating the team, Slot and Co. will travel to the United States for three friendlies against Real Betis, Arsenal and Manchester United as part of their pre-season campaign.

Premier League fixtures for the new season will be released later this month. There is already a lot of excitement surrounding the new era at Anfield and what could happen in the summer transfer window.

Liverpool being a regular topic of debate and discussion, ECHO took a look at what has been doing the rounds online and on social media in the past 24 hours.

Injury concerns for Robertson were dismissed

Scotland assistant manager John Carver has provided an injury update on Andy Robertson ahead of Euro 2024.

Robertson will captain Scotland at this summer’s European Championships. However, the Reds left-back went down with a potential injury during training on Monday.

Scotland face hosts Germany in their tournament opener on Friday. Carver admitted he doesn’t have too many concerns about Robertson’s match fitness.

“It was a precaution really,” Carver told ESPN. “The ball just caught his ankle, but he will train tomorrow, he will be fine.

“Obviously at this stage we’ll be very cautious. But he’s ok, he’s fine and we’re looking forward to him joining tomorrow.”

ECHO says: Robertson will be determined to play for his country at a major tournament, so he and Scotland’s medical team will take every possible precaution to ensure he is fit and available for the Euro 2024 opener against Germany.

Ancelotti gives Klopp the exit theory

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has explained a theory as to why Jurgen Klopp decided to leave Liverpool.

Klopp left the Reds this summer after almost nine years as the club’s manager. He was replaced by Arne Slot, who is now officially Liverpool’s new head coach.

Ancelotti suggested the “excessive burdens” of being an elite-level manager were factors in Klopp’s decision to move away from Anfield.

“I don’t see any specific news, this has always been our job, but the Klopp case is significant,” Ancelotti told il Giornale. “The pressure continues, the load of responsibilities become excessive burdens, the obsession takes over. It happened to Arrigo Sacchi (at AC Milan).”

ECHO says: Ancelotti is one of the most respected managers in world football and has more than enough experience to give his opinion on the demands of the job. Klopp and Ancelotti have always had a mutual respect for each other and it is not unreasonable to assume that the Real Madrid boss could correct assuming Klopp’s reasons for leaving Liverpool.
