Liverpool has had 24 players called up for international duty, not counting the four who have already withdrawn.
After the Reds’ 3-0 victory against Aston Villa, the first round of domestic matches came to an unfortunate end so that international competition could begin.
With four players having previously withdrawn, Liverpool presently has 24 players reporting for duty with their national sides.
Ryan Gravenberch chose to decline a call-up to the Netherlands U21s in order to concentrate on his new club, while Ibrahima Konate withdrew from the France team selection due to a hamstring injury of his own.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, as anticipated, withdrew from the England team on Monday night owing to a hamstring injury sustained against Aston Villa.
Due to his withdrawal from the U20s training camp, Jarell Quansah will also not be reporting for duty with England.
16 players from Liverpool’s first team will compete for their nations.
Following the exits of Fabinho and Roberto Firmino, Alisson is the lone representative for Brazil, while Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo are representing the Netherlands.
Dominik Szoboszlai will captain Hungary, Andy Robertson will captain Scotland, and Mohamed Salah will captain Egypt.
However, Salah will only be present for his country’s second match of the break, a friendly against Tunisia on September 12.
Additionally, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo, Kostas Tsimikas, and Caoimhin Kelleher received senior call-ups.
At the youth level, Stefan Bajcetic has been called up to the Spain U21s squad, Ben Doak will play for England U21s, and Harvey Elliott will play for England U21s.
In addition to those first-team regulars, eight more players from the academy and on loan have also received call-ups.
Luke Chambers (England U-20s), Bobby Clark and Calum Scanlon (both England U-19s), Jayden Danns (England U-18s), Owen Beck (Wales U-21s), Melkamu Frauendorf (Germany U-20s), Trent Kone-Doherty (Ireland U-19s), and Lewis Koumas (Wales U-19s) are those players.

Curtis Jones, who is no longer eligible for the England U21 team, Joe Gomez, and the retired Joel Matip are notable omissions.
Conor Bradley and Thiago were also out due to injury, along with Konate, though Spain was not likely to call up the latter in any case.
Officially, the September international break is from September 4 to September 12; senior-level competition is limited to two matches.
