Liverpool manager Arne Slot will definitely be keeping a close eye on his players over the summer months.
The new man in the Anfield dugout has got pre-season underway, but has just eight members of his squad available.
Others are currently on holiday after their international commitments, while there are still plenty of the group currently playing for their nations.
Both Euro 2024 and Copa America are approaching their final stages, but Liverpool remain well represented in both competitions.
Slot is currently on Merseyside ahead of the new season, with Jamie Carragher impressed by the boss in his first press conference.
Gary Lineker delighted for Trent Alexander-Arnold at Euro 2024
The manager will be keen to work with his star men as soon as possible, but his link-up with Anfield favourite Trent Alexander-Arnold has now been delayed.
The Liverpool has just helped England secure a Euro 2024 semi-final spot, with Alexander-Arnold scoring the winning penalty against Switzerland.

Both Jude Bellingham and Anthony Gordon have since reacted to the spot-kick, with Gary Lineker now joining in.
“I can’t tell you how pleased I am for Trent Alexander-Arnold,” Lineker said on BBC One (7 July, 7:49pm). “He has had a slightly tough time out here, there’s no question about that. Put in midfield in that experiment that didn’t quite work because the team weren’t cohesive.
“I think he would have been fine in the way they are playing now, but to step up, come on as a sub late, late on, step up to have the penalty to win the game, he has only been on the pitch for six minutes, the guy is a technician, he is a wonderful footballer.”
Can the Liverpool star win Euro 2024 with England?
Alexander-Arnold has stolen many English headlines at the major tournament, having been played in midfield by Gareth Southgate.
But the Three Lions boss has swapped out the Liverpool ace for the likes of Conor Gallagher and Kobbie Mainoo in particular as the tournament has progressed.

Still, the Reds right-back has stayed loyal and stepped up when his nation needed him the most in Germany.
He dispatched his penalty confidently past Yann Sommer, with England netting all five of their spot-kicks.
They now meet the Netherlands in the semi-finals, with Spain and France also remaining at the major tournament.
