Internationals preview: 17 Reds called up for duty
Seventeen of Liverpool's current first-team squad have been called up for duty during this international break.
After the Reds returned to the Premier League summit with a 2-1 victory at Fulham on Sunday, a two-week pause in club football is now under way.
Read on for details of where and when Liverpool’s international contingent are scheduled to be in action…
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson have been selected in the England squad for their Euro 2020 qualifiers against Czech Republic, at Wembley on Friday March 22, and away in Montenegro three days later.
Henderson, who sustained an ankle injury during Liverpool’s Champions League clash with Bayern Munich last week, is expected to join up with the Three Lions despite missing the weekend win over Fulham.
“Hendo will go to the national team; two or three days at Melwood to do the rehab, but it looks positive,” said Jürgen Klopp.
“I think he is in contact with Gareth [Southgate] so when he can train in that moment, he will go to the national team. If he plays, Gareth will decide then, but it’s really positive.”
