Summary of Liverpool stars’ performances in the nation duty: Steel Wall Konate; Luis Diaz struggles to breathe

Konate was a starter for France and played all of their 4-1 UEFA Nations League win against Israel in Budapest. Liverpool centre-back with a solid performance for France. He covered for Saliba on many occasions.

While Kelleher was in goal for the Republic of Ireland’s come-from-behind success away at Finland.

Elsewhere, Trent Alexander-Arnold was involved in the entirety of England’s 2-1 defeat by Greece at Wembley, where Curtis Jones was an unused substitute for the hosts.

Liverpool vice-captain is nothing like as inventive and involved as in the last international break from an attacking perspective and too lax defensively, including for Pavlidis’ goal. One good defensive tracking back run late on and a couple of decent balls into the box.

Endo, meanwhile, captained Japan to a 2-0 win versus Saudi Arabia in a World Cup qualifier.

Luis Diaz started & was substituted in the 78th minute. Colombia played with an extra man from the 21st minute, but they lost to Bolivia in an inexplicable way.

Luis Diaz still showed himself to be an active player on the pitch and was involved in many duels despite having to play in a stadium 4000m above sea level.
