Liverpool ace hails Leeds United 'main man' as Javi Gracia could hand him opportunity vs Arsenal

Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson's praise of Leeds United defender Liam Cooper while on international duty for Scotland could well remind Javi Gracia of the "important" role the Spaniard said the centre-back still has to play this season, starting with Saturday's game against Arsenal.

Cooper played the final 15 minutes of Scotland's 2-0 win over Spain and helped his side see out a historic win against the European giants. Replacing Kieran Tierney - who is now an injury doubt for Arsenal - the Leeds man looked calm and composed during his brief cameo.

On and off the pitch, Cooper's influence in both his club and national side can be felt, with Tuesday night's victory over Spain causing Liverpool's Robertson to hail the Whites skipper as "the main man" on his social media after the full-time whistle blew.
