Liverpool in the October International Break, Viewing Guide: Full Fixtures & TV Info

Eleven senior Liverpool players are set for international action this month, and here’s the full list of fixtures and how you can watch them.

Jurgen Klopp‘s Reds are in fine form in 2016/17 so far, soaring to fourth place in the Premier League table having sealed their fourth successive victory prior to the break.

However, Klopp is forced to contend with another unwelcome disruption to the campaign, as World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers resume.

Ten of Klopp’s current first-team players—Simon Mignolet, Ragnar Klavan, Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum, Marko Grujic, Sadio Mane, Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino, Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi—have been called up to represent their nations.

Meanwhile loanee Lazar Markovic and youngsters Ryan Fulton, Harry Wilson, Ovie Ejaria and Trent Alexander-Arnold are among those also poised to feature, with plenty of action in store for supporters despite a lack of domestic fixtures.
