There is not yet news on what the injury is and what caused it.
Liverpool are well on their way to emulating Arsenal’s unbeaten season of 2003-04.
The Gunners ultimately went 49 games without defeat, Liverpool are on 34, and even former Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is backing the runaway leaders to repeat the feat.
A win or a draw at Anfield against the Blades will complete a calendar year unbeaten in the league since a 2–1 loss to Manchester City last January 3.
It is also 31 months since the Reds lost at home while they have won 27 of their last 28 league games.
Robertson, 25, explained: “This says a lot about us.
“It says more about our mentality than it maybe does our skill.

“To be able to do it when on a lot of occasions it’s been Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday — we’ve had a lot of games.
“And obviously going far in the Champions League last season, right to the end.
“But to still not lose your focus in the Premier League is so important.
“It would be massive to go a whole calendar year unbeaten.
“But I’d rather a whole season than a whole calendar year — as I think that would mean we would be champions.
“To go unbeaten has to be our aim now. But we really have to just keep moving on.
“We have no time to waste with a massive FA Cup Merseyside derby coming up in a few days. First, though we get the job done hopefully against Sheffield United — and then we go again.
“Hopefully I’m sitting here this time next year and we’ll go, ‘What a year it’s been again’ and then we’ll move on to 2021.
“That’s the determination for all of the boys and now it’s up to us to fulfil it.”
