Andy Robertson says he is "praying" over the extent of the calf injury he sustained during Liverpool’s Champions League win over Barcelona.

The left back will undergo a scan on Wednesday to ascertain the severity of the injury which he sustained in a collision with Luis Suarez, who appeared to flick his leg out at the defender, shortly before half-time at Anfield.

Robertson managed to continue until the break, when he was replaced by Georginio Wijnaldum who went on to score two goals in the 4-0 semi-final second-leg victory and 4-3 on aggregate to reach next month's final.

"It doesn't feel the best at the minute but I'll get a scan tomorrow," Robertson told the club's website.

"They're confident that it's just a nerve or whatever and it can be maybe a couple of days, but we'll wait and see.

"We can't really comment until I get the scan, but I'll be saying my prayers."
