Liverpool youngster Fabio Carvalho attended AFC Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Burscough on Saturday as he was handed a few days off after deciding against representing Portugal's U21s earlier this season.
The Liverpool midfielder had previously represented England's U16, U17s and U18s before deciding to represent the country of his birth at U21s level. However, in November, Carvalho informed the Portuguese Football Federation that he no longer wished to be considered for selection for Rui Jorge's side.
In meant over the course of the past week, while the 20-year-old's Anfield team-mates jetted off around the globe, Carvalho remained on Merseyside with the likes of James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Nat Phillips and Arthur Melo who also received no international call-up.
