Liverpool made the ideal return following the international break with victory in the Merseyside derby against Everton. Despite the quick turnaround for yet another early kick-off, the Reds were able to overcome their rivals from across Stanley Park, and return to winning ways in the Premier League.
Klopp’s players were scattered across the globe for international games over the past two weeks, and most of them have remerged at Anfield without any major injury concerns, except for Andy Robertson, who damaged his shoulder for Scotland in the 2-0 defeat to Spain. Cody Gakpo, meanwhile, was left out of the squad for the derby as he continues his recovery after pulling up during the defeat to Tottenham.
Something that never disappears, even when the international break is in full swing, is the transfer rumor mill. Liverpool continues to be linked to players, whether realistic or not, throughout the year.
