Emerging Reds and Seasoned Internationals

While Salah and Jones captured the limelight, other Liverpool players were also in action across various age groups and competitions. Harvey Elliott, despite facing a tough match with England U21s, managed to score a vital goal in their 5-3 defeat to France. His goal, although a consolation, highlighted his potential and resilience under pressure.

In a quieter vein, Jarell Quansah, another of Liverpool’s promising talents, was notably absent from the matchday squad under England’s current management. This pause in his international duties will be one to watch as squad selections evolve.
