For Liverpool, the October international break might have come at a decent time. He and Frimpong — who were playing on either wing — were taken off in the second period, while Van Dijk and Gravenberch stayed on for the full 90 minutes.

Mohamed Salah, meanwhile, scored twice for Egypt on Wednesday to help secure its place at next summer's World Cup. In the process, he became the top African scorer in World Cup qualifying on 20 goals from 29 appearances.

It remains to be seen whether or not Ibrahima Konate will feature for France against Azerbaijan after he limped off against Chelsea at the weekend but Alexander Isak is confident he can start for Sweden against Switzerland. I feel in a much better position now than the last time [Sweden played]." Isak was also asked about how he is settling in at Liverpool.
