Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is already planning a change for his side’s Champions League tie with Atletico Madrid, with Andy Robertson set to return to the Reds starting line-up on Wednesday, according to the Daily Mail.

Robertson was taken out of Liverpool’s team at the weekend, and James Milner impressed at left-back in their 2-1 win over Bournemouth.

However, Robertson is ‘definitely’ going to start for Liverpool tomorrow evening according to the latest report.

Klopp wants to go back to using his regular left-back for what is a hugely important Champions League tie at Anfield.

Robertson’s form has actually dipped for Liverpool in recent weeks, with fatigue seemingly playing a part in that.

But Klopp reportedly trusts the Scottish international to be back to his best against Atleti.

Robertson’s rampaging runs from full-back could be crucial, as Liverpool need to turn the tie around.

The 25-year-old offers Liverpool more than Milner in an attacking sense, which may be the main reason why Klopp is planning on bringing him back.
