Over a dozen Liverpool players received international call-ups, and here are a few things we spotted during their training sessions over the last couple of days... Van Dijk's rondo struggles There are three Liverpool players in the Netherlands' squad – and there would would probably be four were it not for Jeremie Frimpong's hamstring problem.



Ryan Gravenberch, Cody Gakpo and Virgil van Dijk all linked up with their international teammates ahead of World Cup qualifiers against Poland and Lithuania.
