The international break is nearly over, and attention is gradually shifting back to the Premier League, with Arne Slot's focus squarely on preparing for Burnley.
Liverpool's challenge will be to secure three points at Turf Moor to maintain a flawless start to the season.
However, given the limited time he's had to train with his new Reds colleagues, it's uncertain whether he'll be thrown into the starting line-up.
Return date: September 14 vs Burnley
Conor Bradley
The Northern Ireland defender acquitted himself admirably in the defeat to Germany as he witnessed Florian Wirtz's spectacular goal from close quarters
The defender needed some attention for a facial injury during the match, but was able to carry on, giving Liverpool manager Slot little cause for concern.
Return date: September 14 vs Burnley
Jeremie Frimpong
The attacking full-back stayed at Liverpool rather than linking up with the Netherlands following his absence from the Reds' last two fixtures through injury.
Slot confirmed that the Dutch international would remain sidelined until after the international break
The hamstring problem has allowed Dominik Szoboszlai to deliver two exceptional displays as his replacement.
"The medical team was completely right about Jeremie to tell me that I had to take him off, because he is out until the end of the international break," he said in August
"So, a good call to take him off; otherwise, he would have maybe been out for longer."
That would position Frimpong to be available for selection this weekend as a more thoroughly rested player than his teammates, perhaps.

Ibrahima Konate
The France center-back was withdrawn during Liverpool's most recent Premier League encounter after requiring a substitution against Arsenal.
Konate was nevertheless selected for international duty with France and played the full 90 minutes in their victory over Ukraine on Friday
The 26-year-old will again be expected to feature against Iceland on Tuesday.
