Virgil van Dijk captained his country to a 2-0 win over Norway, sealing their place at the World Cup next year.
This had come after good news for both England and Scotland. England beat lowly San Marino 10-0 (three assists for Trent) and secured their place in Qatar. Scotland earlier win this week over Denmark ensured that, like Wales, they also have home advantage in WC Qualifying semi-finals in March.
From a Liverpool perspective however not all good news as both Andy Robertson and Jordan Henderson collected minor knocks whilst on international duty. The reds have also indicated that Curtis Jones could take longer to recover from his eye injury sustained last month.
Away from Europe, Minamino and Mo Salah were in action in respective wins for Japan and Egypt. Japan are currently behind Saudi Arabia in a hotly contested group. Egypt must win a two-legged playoff in March next year to advance.
