Liverpool fans are heading into the international break with mixed feelings. We are glad that we can switch off from the Reds’ disastrous season for a couple of weeks but we’re worried about key players picking up injuries. Gareth Southgate has done Jürgen Klopp a big favour with his England squad selection.
International debate
There is a debate to be had as to whether this internationabl break is good or bad news for the Reds.
Jürgen Klopp’s men can take their mind off a tough campaign for a couple of weeks – the fans can as well.
However, key players could pick up injuries when they’re trying to impress their national side boss with many vying for a place in the Euros squad.
England squad
The Three Lions have three World Cup qualifiers to play in the coming forntight.
Gareth Southgate has named his England squad for the fixtures and he hasn’t named a single Liverpool player in his team.
The big shock was the dropping of Trent Alexander-Arnold, the boss explaining that he just believes the Scouser hasn’t been playing to his own high standards.
Gareth Southgate favour for Jürgen Klopp
The England squad was something of a surprise to many.
Gareth Southgate has done Jürgen Klopp a big favour by not selecting any Liverpool players.
The gaffer now doesn’t have to worry about any of his key players reporting back injured; we lost Joe Gomez for the season due to an England session back in November.
It was a controversial call by Southgate but one which many fans have welcomed.
