Anfield, Liverpool, ENG

Jarell Quansah - Drops out of youth national teamQuansah removed himself from England U-20 duty, Liverpool announced.

ImpactQuansah was called up as expected but decided to remain with Liverpool. It remains to be seen what the cause is though it's possibly injury related. It would be a major blow for Liverpool's defensive depth, especially if Virgil van Dijk's suspension is extended due to dissent.

Diego Carlos - Injury not considered seriousCarlos isn't expected to miss a significant amount of time with injury, according to manager Unai Emery. "The injury of Diego Carlos (frustrated him most) It's not a big injury but...

Ibrahima Konate - Unlikely to feature for FranceKonate will miss France's first match during the international break because of his hamstring injury.

ImpactKonate has missed Liverpool's last two games and it seems like a stretch for him to play for France over the break. He suffered the injury a little more than a week ago and will have almost three weeks of time on the sidelines, assuming he doesn't play for France, by the time Liverpool's trip to Wolverhampton rolls around.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Will need hamstring scansAlexander-Arnold will need scans on his hamstring, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "'Not too serious' is his opinion, but we obviously have to wait for the scans and then we wil...

ImpactAlexander-Arnold gets two weeks to recover over the break, assuming he doesn't actually play with England. While the injury isn't serious, it's rarely a good idea to push a muscle injury, so his status in upcoming England matches will be telling. Through four matches, eh has five shots and nine chances created with just seven corners taken.
