Despite going off against Chelsea due to a problem with his quads, Ibrahima Konate is still expected to be one of 19 Liverpool players joining their senior international teams. Andy Robertson, who limped off at full time, is also yet to withdraw from international duty, with the Scotland captain set to play World Cup qualifiers against Greece and Belarus at Hampden Park.

Including Konate and Robertson, as well as loanees Vitezslav Jaros, Kostas Tsimikas and Lewis Koumas, 19 Liverpool players should be involved in senior international football over the next two weeks. In addition, at least six youngsters will be involved in youth international football across the continent as five nations are represented.

For Kieran Morrison, it should be a notable international break as he joins up with Northern Ireland U21s for the first time. It is the first time the 18 year-old has been named in any international squad since last year’s Under-19 European Championships, which were hosted by Northern Ireland.
