The international break is among us and so, Klopp will be left with a reduced number in training as his stars will be out competing for their respective nations.
This will be a time for Klopp and his team to re-group ahead of a packed April schedule when domestic football resumes.
The two-week hiatus from Premier League football will see Liverpool players competing in either international friendlies or in the qualifying rounds for their respective continental competitions.
According to the Liverpool FC official website, 12 members of the first team are away on international duty, which could have been higher if Darwin Nunez wasn’t suffering an injury.
Luckily for the Anfield camp, Liverpool’s Brazilian trio of Alisson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino were all not included in their nation’s squad.
However, the following players will be away from Merseyside as they continue to compete, but not for Liverpool:
Jordan Henderson (England)
Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo (Netherlands)
Ibrahima Konate (France)
Caoimhin Kelleher (Republic of Ireland)
Andy Robertson (Scotland)
Diogo Jota (Portugal)
Kostas Tsimikas (Greece)
Mohamed Salah (Egypt)
Naby Keita (Guinea)
Harvey Elliott, Curtis Jones (England U21)
Liverpool return to domestic action on April 1 when they make the trip to the Etihad Stadium to face up against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
Two difficult fixtures against Chelsea and Arsenal follow shortly after in a congested time period for Jurgen Klopp’s Reds.
Klopp will remain in Liverpool with those not included in international duties and will use the two-week break wisely with those season-defining fixtures in mind.
