Jurgen Klopp faces a selection dilemma ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Manchester, according to the BBC’s Paul Salt.
The Merseysiders are set to face Manchester City and the German tactician may have to rest several key players in the first half due to a tough travel schedule.
“You know how Klopp is after international competitions: he doesn’t do anything half-heartedly. He doesn’t like players who play in South America,” the pundit told BBC Radio Merseyside (via BBC Sport ).
Luis Diaz, Alexis McAllister and Darwin Nunes all started during the international break and are expected to feature in the next game.

Could Klopp catch a break at the Etihad? Diogo Jota can be trusted to face the Sky Blues in place of the former Benfica assassin.
But that leaves an interesting question about what to do with the remaining South American stars.
Removal of Mac Allister from position no. 6 means betting on either signing Wataru Endo in the summer or facing the returning Curtis Jones in a less experienced position.
Can they afford to rest Luis Diaz in such an important match? A difficult test for Jurgen Klopp!
