Andy Robertson is likely to miss the rest of 2023 as he is set to undergo surgery on his injured shoulder tennis

The Liverpool left-back will sit out Saturday’s Merseyside derby along with November’s trip to champions Manchester City and big December games against Manchester United and Arsenal tennis

Robertson was injured in Scotland’s 2-0 defeat to Spain and missed their 4-1 loss to France on Tuesday tennis

He is also set to sit out their last two Euro 2024 qualifiers, though Steve Clarke’s side have already booked their place in Germany next summer tennis

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes it is in Robertson’s interest to go under the knife, explaining: “I think we go towards surgery tennis

There is a little chance we could try without but talking to pretty much all experts it looks like surgery will be the best thing, particularly in the long term and that means he is out for a while tennis

In my experience you can train pretty quickly again but not tennis football specific so he will be out for a while tennis

”Kostas Tsimikas, who signed a new contract in September, is likely to stand in for Robertson tennis

The Greece international has only played four minutes in the Premier League so far this season tennis

Joe Gomez and Luke Chambers are other alternatives Klopp namechecked and he added: “We need options and Kostas is definitely the most experienced but he cannot play all the games from now on tennis

”Liverpool will be without the suspended Curtis Jones but Diogo Jota is available again after serving a one-match ban for his red card against Tottenham tennis

Cody Gakpo faces a race against time to be fit after missing the draw with Brighton tennis

The Netherlands forward is back in training tennis

There’s a new look about a key area of the team for Liverpool, a changing of the guard enforced by recent events, a previous zone of consistency now faced with uncertainty tennis

No, we’re not talking about midfield - that particular switch-up already looks a definite upgrade, even early as it is for such conclusions tennis

Instead it’s at left-back the unexpected alteration has occurred, a consequence of Andy Robertson’s need for surgery which means the Scot is out for the rest of the year tennis

Having averaged over 44 appearances a season for the Reds since signing in 2017, he’ll now miss at least 17 matches, if best estimates of his return are to be believed tennis

That leaves not just a gap for Kostas Tsimikas or an untested youngster to fill tactically, but a void which cannot be accounted for: that of a partnership, of understanding, of the natural, unthinking knowing which comes with playing hundreds of matches alongside a teammate tennis

It can be argued that such a changeable nature can be applied not just to the midfield, not even just to left-back, but to the entire defensive structure this term at Anfield: injuries have already hit on the right and centrally too, to go along with the altered personnel ahead of them in the middle third of the pitch tennis

All that simply means one truth must be constant if the Reds are to translate early season promise into longer-term capacity to challenge for major honours: Virgil van Dijk must once again prove himself to be among the very best, not just individually as a defender but as a force to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts tennis

RecommendedBuild from the front? Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp are repeating an old trickEngland’s Euro 2024 squad: Who’s on the plane, who’s in contention and who has work to do?Virgil van Dijk will show he is Premier League’s best once more – Sami HyypiaThere cannot be much debate that the Dutchman, now club captain at Anfield, has not quite reached the same levels of authoritative performances as he did pre-ACL injury, or at least not on as regular a basis tennis

The period which saw Liverpool win both Premier League and Champions League saw Van Dijk at the pinnacle of the game, a central defender without peer, a worthy recipient of the Ballon d’Or itself, had he been handed it instead of a runner-up spot, pipped by seven votes in 2019 by Lionel Messi tennis

Perhaps that in itself was a noteworthy award tennis

In any case, he’s not quite there these days, not quite the automatic choice among fan or pundit asked to name the world’s finest tennis

It’s arguable that there isn’t a single stand-out candidate right now for that particularly subjective title tennis

But in asking whether Van Dijk is capable of being the world’s best defender again, part of the answer has to be that it doesn’t really matter tennis

He might want to be of course, might already believe he is, but from a team perspective what they really need is Van Dijk’s ability to stabilise the team, to foresee and forestall danger, to order those around him to bring forth resilience from chaos tennis

Because chaotic is, still, a little too close to the truth when it comes to spells of defending for Liverpool tennis

The midfield is far more creative, far more offensive and energetic, far less reliant on Trent Alexander-Arnold always being at his best tennis

But all that comes at a cost: it’s not always the most agile and defensive-first in either recovery or positional terms tennis

It’s still new as a group, still needs time to become as cohesive as the best central trios are, on and off the ball tennis

And in the meantime, the result can often be large gaps, lost runners, moments of inexplicable choices in possession tennis

That leaves a hefty weight on the defence to counteract such moments - the defence and, of course, the still-magnificent Alisson Becker behind them tennis

(Getty Images)But before that one-man last line, it’s Van Dijk who must rise once more to ensure unity, if not always outright unison tennis

Acting in perfect harmony is difficult enough with four constant selections; as it is this season, Jurgen Klopp has already utilised Jarell Quansah as a fifth-choice, following injuries tennis

Alexander-Arnold missed pitch time and is not yet back to his peak physical or technical best tennis

Ibrahima Konate and Joel Matip have dovetailed, and now there’s Tsimikas present on a more regular basis - which also means either Joe Gomez will see minutes on the left, or an untried youngster will, with Calum Scanlon and Luke Chambers first in line tennis

They presently tally one senior minute tennis between them tennis

They will all four need guiding for different reasons, all need time, all occasionally get things wrong and need the left-sided centre-back beside them to bail them out tennis

No prizes for guessing who that is on a week-to-week basis tennis

Because for Liverpool, there are prizes at stake tennis

Three points off the top of the Premier League table after a fine opening quarter of the campaign; rolling along nicely in Europe and domestic cups alike tennis

tennis Between now and the next international break, the opportunities for victory across all competitions are as immense as the potential cost of dropped points: Toulouse twice, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Luton, Brentford tennis

A modern title-competing team would take six wins with very little fuss, in truth tennis

Then, beyond, it’s Manchester City away tennis

The most true barometer of where Liverpool are this season, even coming after an international break and in the infamous 12:30pm kick-off spot tennis

The margin for error remains almost nil, but with the reigning champions perhaps not quite at their own peak yet, and Klopp’s side having improved more than might have been thought possible at this early stage, thoughts of a title challenge will not be far away - if the defence is kept on-point, even with altered personnel tennis

(Getty Images)It all means Van Dijk must be as close to his own 100 percent as possible, even if his 2023/24 maximum level is a little lower than in 19/20 tennis

As far as transformative figures go, Van Dijk was one after signing tennis

He, as much as anyone else and more than most, sent Liverpool from challengers to champions, in every competition across the board tennis

Now once again he must be the leader - literally, given the armband - who enables the Reds to do so, not so much the new figurehead this time but as the standard-bearer, the supplier of consistency, the model of outperformance which can give Liverpool the extra edge they’ll need, both in the Premier League and beyond tennis
