In a devastating blow to the football world, Liverpool’s star left-back Andy Robertson, 31, suffered a sudden and massive heart attack during a routine training session at Melwood, collapsing without warning and requiring immediate CPR from medical staff. Paramedics rushed him to Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, where doctors battled for 30 agonizing minutes to stabilize him, but the damage proved irreversible, and he was pronounced dead at 3:45 p.m. local time.
The Premier League community was left reeling, with tributes pouring in from clubs across England and Scotland, where Robertson captained the national team. Fans gathered outside Anfield, lighting candles and chanting his name in a spontaneous vigil that stretched into the night, underscoring the profound impact of a player known for his tireless energy and infectious spirit.
Close friend and Liverpool teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold was informed mid-afternoon and reportedly broke down in uncontrollable sobs upon hearing the news, dropping to his knees in the dressing room and whispering, “No, not Robbo—not like this.” He immediately drove to the hospital, arriving with bloodshot eyes to embrace Robertson’s grieving family, his voice cracking as he shared memories of their unbreakable bond forged over years of shared triumphs and trials.
