Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will “pray and hope” his impeccable players return injury-free from the international break.
Liverpool continued their faultless start to the season with a 3-0 win at Burnley on Saturday evening.
Melwood will be a quieter place than usual over the next week, though, as the majority of Klopp’s squad jets off across the globe to represent their national teams.
“We have to pray and hope again that they all come back healthy and then the most intense period of the season starts,” Klopp said.

But, such is the pressure of the title race, with Manchester City two points behind, Klopp did not brag about his side’s feat.
“I don't feel proud in the moment, to be honest, but I am happy because this record – however old they are, I'm not sure – it's really nice,” the German said.
“But we don't go for these records. You were probably in the press conference when I spoke about it that this team wants to write their own stories and want to create their own history.
“They are doing and doing and doing. One is the number, 13 games in a row, the other thing is in the 13th game of that series, showing the attitude the boys showed today, that makes it all.”
