Liverpool left back Andy Robertson doubled down on his insistence that he is gunning for Milos Kerkez’s starting spot after an underwhelming opening to the summer arrival’s Anfield career.
Kerkez lasted just 38 minutes before he was unceremoniously hauled off by Arne Slot during a narrow 1–0 win over Burnley on Sunday afternoon. Liverpool’s unforgiving manager confirmed post-match that the left back had been withdrawn to avoid a second yellow card, grimly admitting that he “can never be 100% he [Kerkez] doesn’t make the next foul.”
