Andy Robertson says he was worried the 2019-20 Premier League campaign would be cancelled.


The Scotland international has revealed he is keen to end the season on a high by helping the Reds secure their first league title in 30 years.


Jurgen Klopp's boys were leading the Premier League table by 25 points before the coronavirus pandemic brought the world to a standstill.


However, the English top-flight is set to resume in mid-June after clubs voted on Wednesday for a return to full-contact training, and Liverpool need only two wins to secure the title.


"It's been 30 long years for this club and the fans probably couldn't have imagined we'd have to wait nine weeks when we were so close to going into games where we hopefully could have won to seal the Premier League title," he told Liverpool's official website.



"But we'll get back to it, we'll get going again, we'll get our rhythm again and hopefully we can win the games we need to win and that's what our aim is now.


"The light at the end of the tunnel was just getting back into training, to be honest. At times, there were some days you didn't think that would have been possible, but now we're back here, we can look forward and look to the next step.


"Then, like I said, hopefully with the games we've got ahead of us, we can get back to it. Would we like to play in front of 55,000 people at Anfield? Of course we would.



"Winning games or whatever without the fans won't feel the same, but it's something we know we need to go through and it's something we know that in their houses and stuff they will be supporting us like mad and we'll feel that support.


"Hopefully we can celebrate a title if we get the job done - and there will be time to celebrate it when the time is right.


"But for now we need to keep focused, we know whatever games are coming up and whenever they start, we need to get them won and get that trophy for this club."
