Steve Clarke provides Andy Robertson injury update

Scotland boss Steve Clarke has provided an update on Andy Robertson after he sustained a shoulder injury against Spain.

Goals from Alvaro Morata and Oihan Sancet saw the hosts run out 2-0 winners in Seville which means the 60-year-old's team will have to wait until at least Sunday to find out if they have reached Euro 2024.

And one of the real negatives from the evening was the knock picked up by the Liverpool full-back.

Robertson was forced off late in the first half following a challenge from the Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon as he appeared to suffer a dislocation as he left the pitch with his arm wrapped in his shirt as a makeshift sling.

"It was an immediate decision to take him off, he’ll go back to his club, he’ll be assessed," Clarke said.

"Obviously he’s hurt his shoulder. We’ll have a look, obviously go back to his club. Always seems to happens when you lose one player in a position: we lose Kieran (Tierney) on the left side and then Andy’s picked up a shoulder injury.

"We’ll see how it is, see how it settles down and hopefully he’s good for his club as quickly as possible and he’s ready to help us in November."
