Salah isn’t in the Egyptian squad. Henderson isn’t going away with England.
I think I read Manè isn’t going away but I could’ve dreamt that one.

Yeah, Salah was told he can have the break off by the Egyptian manager. Thank fuck. Hopefully he'll have a rest & then spend te rest of the time just banging the ball into the net over & over again!
Liverpool winger Xherdan Shaqiri has been ruled out of Switzerland's opening European Qualifiers due to injury.
The Swiss Football Association says Shaqiri has an inflammation injury in his groin that was revealed by tests at a hospital on Monday.
He left the team training camp and will not be available for qualifiers in Georgia on Saturday and at home against Denmark three days later.

Yeah, Tuesday I think. Hopefully he'll come off 'injured' on Friday which will rule him out of the second game.
I don't think my heart could take the wait to find out.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson have been selected in the England squad for their Euro 2020 qualifiers against Czech Republic, at Wembley on Friday March 22, and away in Montenegro three days later.
Henderson, who sustained an ankle injury during Liverpool’s Champions League clash with Bayern Munich last week, is expected to join up with the Three Lions despite missing the weekend win over Fulham.
“Hendo will go to the national team; two or three days at Melwood to do the rehab, but it looks positive,” said Jürgen Klopp.
“I think he is in contact with Gareth [Southgate] so when he can train in that moment, he will go to the national team. If he plays, Gareth will decide then, but it’s really positive.”
Curtis Jones will represent England’s U18s in the UAE Sport Chain Cup in Dubai, with fixtures scheduled against Japan (Wednesday March 20), the Czechs (March 22) and Mexico (Sunday March 24).

Simon Mignolet and Divock Origi will be with the Belgium squad for their qualifiers against Russia and Cyprus, also on March 21 and 24.
Ben Woodburn is part of the Wales selection for a friendly with Trinidad and Tobago (March 20) and Euro tie at home to Slovakia (March 24).

I he actually gets injured on Friday, I will hunt you down.
I used quotes! Like actual air quotes, to show what I meant! The jinx gods will say that & know, won't they? WON'T THEY?!
WHAT HAVE I DONE?! AAARRGGGHHHH....
It's pretty fucking annoying that the only player who we do want to play (Salah, cos his last goal slumps were arrested by scoring on an international break) isn't & all the others are. FFS.
Good news that Brazil are playing friendlies in Europe so no transatlantic travel for our lads. Same goes for Fernandinho and Jesus too I guess.
Pretty sure the kid is on international duty to go abroad to find more skag. Might be in short supply in Dundee post-Brexit
Wijnaldum for Holland in 2018-19: 3 goals in 6 games
Wijnaldum for Liverpool in 2018-19: 2 goals in 36 games
Wijnaldum for Newcastle in 2015-16: 11 goals
Wijnaldum for Liverpool in 2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19: 10 goals
Love Klopp, but this always bothered me about the way he uses Wijnaldum. He's turned a creative goalscoring midfielder into an ultra-cautious one. Whenever Gini goes away to a team not managed by Klopp, he turns back into a midfielder who has consistently scored 1 goal in 3 games throughout his career (104 goals in 313 games excluding Liverpool).
