Andy Robertson To Resume Training, Easing Scotland's Euro 2024 Worries

Scotland's assistant coach, John Carver, has confirmed that Andy Robertson will return to training on Tuesday. The Liverpool full-back left the first training session in Germany as a precaution. Robertson was escorted off the pitch at the Stadion am Groben in Bavaria during an open training session ahead of Euro 2024's opening game against hosts Germany on Friday.

Lawrence Shankland also exited the session early. Shankland had scored in Scotland's final fixture before the tournament against Finland last week, assisted by Robertson. Carver remains confident that both players, who have 80 international caps between them, will be ready for the match in Munich on June 14.

Robertson's Quick Return Boosts Scotland

"Robertson is fine. It's just a precaution really," Carver stated. "I spoke to him. The ball just caught his ankle and he will train tomorrow. He'll be fine. At this stage, we're being extra cautious. He's okay and looking forward to tomorrow."

Carver added, "It's never nice, especially with the luck we've been having lately. As soon as training finished, I had a chat with him and he's in good form. He had a little bit of a niggle from the other night. He's in that process and had quite a bit of game time in the two games we played (against Gibraltar and Finland), so we're just protecting him as well."

Carver reassured fans by saying, "Everyone's got their own programme coming back. He's fine, everybody's good."
