Liverpool have two young attackers hoping to make their mark for their countries tonight, with Rio Ngumoha and Victor Munoz both in contention to start.
It could be another important evening for two players who are still establishing themselves at international level.
Ngumoha in contention for England
Rio Ngumoha has made the match-day squad as England travel to face Czechia in the Nations League tonight.
The game kicks off at 7:45pm and the Liverpool youngster is in contention to start.
That’s a big opportunity for the 18-year-old.
Ngumoha was included in Thomas Tuchel’s original England squad for this international window after making his senior debut earlier this year.
He was left out of the match-day squad for England’s meeting with Spain, so getting back into the squad tonight will be particularly encouraging.
Now he will be hoping to take the next step and get another chance to show what he can do.
Liverpool supporters have already seen plenty of potential from Ngumoha and, if he gets the nod from Tuchel, it will be another valuable experience for the teenager.
Munoz pushing for Spain start
Victor Munoz is also in the match-day squad as Spain take on Croatia tonight.
The Liverpool forward is in contention to start in what should be another good test for him at international level.
Munoz has already made his senior Spain debut and remains part of Luis de la Fuente’s plans for the Nations League campaign. The Spanish FA currently lists him among the senior squad’s forwards.
Tonight’s game takes place in Seville, with kick-off at 7:45pm UK time.
For Liverpool, it’s another chance to see one of their summer signings gaining valuable experience with one of Europe’s strongest international sides.
Two Liverpool youngsters to keep an eye on
So there are two Reds to watch tonight.
Ngumoha will be hoping to make an impression with England, while Munoz will be looking to continue his progress with Spain.
Neither player is guaranteed a start, but the fact that both are in their respective match-day squads is another positive sign.
Liverpool supporters will certainly be keeping an eye on both games.
And if either youngster gets the chance from the start, they’ll have a great opportunity to remind everyone why there is so much excitement surrounding their futures at Anfield.
