The international break hasn't always been the best of times for Liverpool, but the most recent double-header could have gone a lot worse.
Previous breaks have hit Jurgen Klopp's side hard, be it through unexpected injuries or losses of momentum. This time, though, there has been a little less momentum to lose, while injuries sustained before the break have kept some players back in England.
Liverpool will return to Premier League action on Saturday, taking on Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield with a chance to close the gap to the top four.
