Konate started for France and played the full match in their 4-1 UEFA Nations League victory over Israel in Budapest. The Liverpool center-back delivered a strong performance, frequently covering for Saliba throughout the game.

Kelleher was in goal for the Republic of Ireland’s comeback victory on the road against Finland.

Endo, meanwhile, captained Japan to a 2-0 win versus Saudi Arabia in a World Cup qualifier.

Liverpool’s vice-captain was far less creative and involved in attack compared to the last international break, and was also too lax defensively, especially during Pavlidis’ goal. However, he did make one good defensive tracking run late in the game and delivered a few decent crosses into the box.

Luis Diaz, who started and was substituted in the 78th minute, saw Colombia lose to Bolivia despite playing with an extra man from the 21st minute.

Despite the unexpected defeat, Diaz remained active on the pitch, engaging in many duels even while playing at an altitude of 4000m above sea level.
