Andy Robertson will be missing for Liverpool in their Champions League clash with Ajax on Tuesday night through a knee injury.
That's according to the Liverpool Echo, who say the Scotland international suffered an issue with his left knee and is now set to be absent for Tuesday's game at Anfield. Robertson was at Liverpool's training ground on Sunday with a knee brace on and will now be sidelined for the midweek game.
It remains to be seen how long Robertson will be missing for with Liverpool set to travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon to take on Chelsea. Kostas Tsimikas is likely to go into Jurgen Klopp's side on Tuesday and the Greece defender could also be in contention to play at the weekend should Robertson not recover in time.

"He [Robertson] is out for at least until after the international break," Klopp said to reporters on Monday afternoon.
Liverpool already have a number of injury problems, so it does not come at a good time for Klopp. Ibrahima Konate, Curtis Jones, Caoimhin Kelleher, Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are all currently sidelined with problems.
The game is scheduled for Sunday but whether it goes ahead is a different matter. The Premier League postponed its fixtures at the weekend following the passing of Her Majesty The Queen and with her funeral set to take place on Monday of next week, the next set of games are in doubt.
As it stands, though, both Chelsea and Liverpool are set to be in Champions League action in midweek. The EFL have confirmed its fixtures in midweek will go ahead as initially planned.
