But that won't mean a break for most of the players, who are off on international duty — with some people expressing concerns over Cody Gakpo.

Ryan Gravenberch once got himself into hot water when he elected to remain at Liverpool to try and build fitness rather than accept a call-up to the under-21s.

This was after he had arrived at Liverpool on deadline day, following a season of real frustration at Bayern Munich.

Another of the top comments suggests that Gakpo could benefit the most from some minutes over the international period, with the other players more in need of a break.
