From Salah to Coutinho, how Liverpool players fared on International duty

Liverpool had 16 of their players on International duty with their senior national teams in the past 10 days and all of them are now set to make return to Anfield Road for the rest of the season. The Reds footballers had had some highs and lows during the International break. Mo Salah, for example, scored the late goal that sent Egypt to World Cup for the first time in over a quarter of century, whilst Emre Can netted his first International goal with Germany national team. Philippe Coutinho and Firmino played against Bolivia and Chile although Brazil had already qualified for next year’s World Cup and Georgino Wijnaldum failed to qualify for the World Cup with the Netherlands.
