The report claims that the national team’s Twitter account stated that Shaqiri wants to focus on his club career. Shaqiri played for us in the Community Shield defeat against Manchester City, however, there have been no minutes in the Premier League.

Jurgen Klopp spoke to the media yesterday ahead of our trip to Burnley and suggested that Shaqiri would be required once the international break is done.

Liverpool’s Champions League and Carabao Cup journeys begin after that, and it will be interesting to see how the Swiss star is used by Klopp.
