Liverpool fans will no doubt be counting down the days before the Reds are back in action, and they potentially get a first glimpse of their new $169 million striker.
The international break couldn’t have come at a more annoying time for supporters.
Arne Slot’s side had just beaten their closest title challenger from last season to make it three wins out of three at the start of their defense, and after weeks of drama, Alexander Isak was finally a Liverpool player.

An international break is rarely welcomed, but three games into a new campaign feels especially egregious.
No sooner are Liverpool’s new signings beginning to gel, all momentum feels like it has been wiped out by them traveling to all corners of Europe.
On this one occasion, though, the international break might just have provided Slot with a boost.
Yes, the Liverpool boss might be watching on a little nervously later and hoping Ibrahima Konate, Dominik Szoboszlai and Milos Kerkez come through their latest games for their countries unscathed, and getting Alisson Becker and Alexis Mac Allister back later than everyone else is far from ideal.
But the break might have been just what the doctor ordered for the Reds’ newest addition.
Alexander Isak finally secured his move to Liverpool on transfer deadline day

Slot will no doubt be appreciative of that, and now the Liverpool boss can soon get to work with his new striker ahead of what could be his debut against Burnley on Sunday
