Liverpool defender Robertson blasts Caicedo: You can't paint it any other way

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has slammed Moises Caicedo's tackle on Ryan Gravenberch.

The defender, whose side beat Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, felt that Caicedo should have been given a card.

The incident occurred in the first half and resulted in Gravenberch being stretchered off.

Post-game, Robertson said: “Ryan's [injury] is a really bad tackle. You can't paint it any other way. It's a really bad tackle on his ankle and you've just got to hope it's not as bad as the pain he was feeling on the pitch.

“So fingers crossed for that one and and hopefully, slowly but surely, we get the lads back because it is mounting up now and we have to keep going the way we're going just now.

“But hopefully we start introducing players back into the squad and we get stronger and stronger. Then hopefully we'll be back to a fully fit squad soon enough that we can really push until the end of the season."
