Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has publicly stated he doesn't want his players doing well while on international duty, ensuring they get back to Anfield sooner rather than later.
Mohamed Salah is due to play in the African Cup of Nations for Egypt, while Wataru Endo is heading for the Asian Cup with Japan. Klopp would rather both players return to the squad as quickly as possible, though, suggesting an early exit from their respective tournaments is preferred.
