Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has defended full-back Andy Robertson after the Scot conceded a costly penalty on Tuesday night in the club's 2-0 defeat to Napoli.
The penalty incident rounded off what has been a difficult period for the defender, who was also targeted by sections of Scotland's fans during the recent international break when the national team slipped to home defeats against Russia and Belgium.
Robertson withdrew from social media this week following the Napoli game in response to the recent online abuse that he has received, before returning with a light-hearted tweet on Friday.

Reacting to the criticism that Robertson has faced, Klopp appeared bemused, and claimed that the response from some online was a reflection of society rather than of the player himself.
"The criticism has nothing to do with the expectation. It is to do with the world out there.
"The Callejon-Robertson situation, we all agree that it was not a penalty.
