Slot: I need all my players | VVD: I want Robbo to stay
Andy Robertson played 45 minutes for Liverpool against Bournemouth on Saturday, despite being linked with a move to Tottenham.
Robertson came on at half-time for Milos Kerkez as Liverpool lost 3-2 to Bournemouth.
When asked about Robertson's future, Liverpool manager Arne Slot said: "I need all my players. I always knew that another 90 minutes for Milos Kerkez against an intense Bournemouth side was not a possibility so I already knew I had to bring Robertson in.
"But I had already made one substitution, so you only have two windows left so I brought him on at half time to make sure Kerkez stays available for the rest of the season. I have to manage that. The last thing we need is another injury."
Virgil van Dijk added: "I speak to him everyday, hes my vice captain. Robbo is a very important member of our team and I want him to stay. Whatever happens. Well see."

St Louis City in talks for Aberdeen midfielder Polvara
Latest from Your Site News' Anthony Joseph:
St Louis City are in talks to sign Aberdeen midfielder Dante Polvara.

His contract expires in the summer, and the Dons have been trying to extend his deal.

Fulham must fight to keep Wilson, warns boss Silva
Fulham manager Marco Silva warned the club must do everything they can to keep Harry Wilson after his eighth Premier League goal of the season beat Brighton.
The 28-year-old is out of contract in the summer and it is likely there will be offers to try and tempt him away from Craven Cottage, increasingly so following a brilliant stoppage-time free-kick that sealed a dramatic 2-1 triumph.
It was the latest twist in what is becoming a remarkable breakout campaign for the former Liverpool midfielder, and Silva acknowledged the fight is on to keep him on the books as the weeks count down on his current deal.
We are in the fight, we are trying to keep him, said Silva. If you ask me if its going to be easy, I say its not going to be easy.
The more he scores, many more clubs are going to be around him. This is football business. When a player goes to the end of his contract, this kind of thing is going to happen.
I know hes happy in our club and how much hes enjoying the moment. Its up to the club to do the maximum to keep him.
Wilson, who joined the Cottagers initially on loan in 2021, has now scored in his last three league matches at home, including winning goals against Brighton and Chelsea as well as a goal in the draw with champions Liverpool.
Hes been brilliant for us, said Silva. Hes on a great run but its from the first day of the season. Hes been able to take the responsibility on his back, to be decisive.
We had some very good spells (in the game) but it was not our best performance. He was able to take that free-kick. Im repeating every week, its the best moment of his career. Sometimes, everything comes together.
Nuno: West Ham still need options in the transfer market
Nuno Espirito Santo says West Ham still need new signings to maintain their survival bid after they boosted their chances of beating the drop with a rousing 3-1 win over Sunderland.
The rescue effort is continuing behind the scenes, with Argentinian midfielder Guido Rodriguez missing from the squad ahead of a move to Valencia and Fulham winger Adama Traore close to joining.
Lucas Paqueta was absent again amid the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his future, but there was an appearance on the bench for the lesser-spotted James Ward-Prowse, having previously been frozen out by Nuno.
We have one week to go, said Nuno. I still believe that we need to rebalance our squad. We need options in some positions.
We need to become more competitive. I still believe in the work the club is doing.
Paqueta remains the target of his former club Flamengo in Brazil and is understood to want to leave.
Asked whether he expects to see the Brazilian in a West Ham shirt again, Nuno added: What I hope is the situation to be solved as soon as possible.
Every part involved has to be solved and to be clear, so we have a direction to move forward.
