It has been a relatively successful international break for Liverpool, with 18 players featuring for their senior international sides and five getting on the scoresheet.
While Liverpool supporters sighed when the international break came around, following a run of three consecutive wins and clean sheets, it offers players a chance to see some fresh faces.
Harvey Elliott was the notable loser from the break, having to come back to Merseyside due to injury before playing a minute for England U21s and now facing around six weeks on the sidelines with a broken foot.
Meanwhile, a niggle for Alexis Mac Allister seems to have been managed, thankfully, and the Reds will have nearly a clean bill of health for Liverpool’s second run of fixtures under Arne Slot.
