Robertson sustained the injury in a collision with Barcelona striker Luis Suarez before his halftime replacement Georginio Wijnaldum scored twice to help Liverpool reach the final with a 4-0 win on the night and 4-3 on aggregate.
“It doesn’t feel the best at the minute but I’ll get a scan tomorrow [Wednesday],” the Scot, who has made 46 appearances for Liverpool this season, told the club’s website after celebrating the win in front of a euphoric crowd at Anfield.
“They’re confident that it’s just a nerve or whatever and it can be maybe a couple of days, but we’ll wait and see.
“We can’t really comment until I get the scan, but I’ll be saying my prayers tonight.”
Liverpool host Wolverhampton Wanderers in their final Premier League match of the season on Sunday, needing a win at Anfield and a Manchester City slip-up at Brighton and Hove Albion to take the title.
The five-times European champions will face Ajax Amsterdam or Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final in Madrid on 1 June.
