'Easy for him to say!': Robertson reveals Klopp's message ahead of Burnley game

The Burnley game marked Andy Robertson's first appearance in the starting lineup in over four months.

"I loved it today," the left-back told the club's official website after the game.

"The gaffer spoke to me yesterday and just said, ‘We don’t have many options!’ He said try to forget that I’ve been out for four months, which is easy for him to say, I suppose!

"But that was my mentality when I woke up before it, to try to forget about it and hope it clicks back into gear. I thought it did, to be fair, I thought I had rhythm, I was up and down as I normally would be, I tried to help Lucho [Diaz] on the overlap and get involved in the game.

"Happy to be back, happy to get 94, 95 minutes, delighted to be back starting, and hopefully that’s me until the end of the season.

"Four months out is a long time but the lads have done unbelievably well. Now I need to step up to their level and today was a good start."

Klopp had no choice but to bring Robertson back after Joe Gomez fell ill with the flu, and the Scot did not let him down.
