Incredibly, it's only been 11 days since Liverpool's last-minute Premier League defeat at Chelsea. Despite the break offering some respite for him and his squad, Arne Slot would have been diligently analysing the circumstances of the three consecutive losses that have abruptly turned this Liverpool season into one of self-examination, with questions being raised about almost everyone, including the Dutchman himself.

Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones, and Federico Chiesa have all spent the past week and a half improving their fitness away from their missing teammates, with personalized gym sessions and special programmes implemented for three players who have all struggled with injuries.

Then there's the enduring puzzle that is Chiesa, who holds 51 of those 72 caps but hasn't represented Italy since joining Liverpool in the summer of 2024, despite playing in all four of the Azzurri's matches at the Euros. Despite their impressive track records, it's not surprising that the trio's international recognition has been limited in the current window, given their recent struggle for club appearances - they've only started five matches between them this season, three of which were during the League Cup victory over Southampton.
