International breaks can be nightmares for both clubs and fans alike. Liverpool FC will wave off 12 current players and on-loan Divock Origi to play for their countries.

Here's the day-by-day guide to where and when you can watch Reds in action.

November 12

Dejan Lovren will hope to get some game time against World Cup finalists Argentina in a friendly at Upton Park, although the four opposition strikers – Gonzalo Higuain, Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi – may change his mind quickly.

Belgium are expected to name a strong side in Brussels for their friendly with Iceland, which should see Divock Origi start up front for Marc Wilmots' side. Simon Mignolet is also in the squad.

Philippe Coutinho will also look to continue his fledging international career for Brazil against Turkey in Istanbul.

November 14

Kolo Toure may not have been given the nod against Chelsea by Brendan Rodgers, but he will want to be in action for his country as they try to salvage a place in the African Cup of Nations.

Currently in third place on six points – on the same points as second-placed DR Congo – with only the top two qualifying. Toure will play in Abidjan, despite it officially being an away tie, because of the ongoing Ebola crisis.

Lazar Markovic will be in competitive action at home to Denmark in Serbia's first game since the trouble against Albania.

November 15

Saturday sees England attempt to maintain their perfect start to qualifying when they host Slovenia. Jordan Henderson and Raheem Sterling are expected to start, with Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert also part of the squad.

Martin Skrtel should start for Slovakia, who top Group C after their excellent win over Spain. Their opponents are Macedonia in Skopje.

November 16

Mignolet and Origi are back in action, this time competitively, against Joe Allen's Wales in Brussells. Wales currently occupy top spot in Group B and are in a good position to qualify, but Belgium are expected to win the group easily.

Mario Balotelli has been recalled by Italy boss Antonio Conte and will be in the squad for the qualifier against Croatia in Milan. Balotelli will return to the stadium he played at with both Inter Milan and AC Milan and potentially come up against Lovren , with both sides enjoying perfect starts to the campaign so far.

November 18

And Balotelli could be back in action just 48 hours later when Italy host Albania in a friendly in Genoa.

Coutinho and Brazil will continue their European jaunt with a trip to Vienna to meet Austria in a friendly, while Markovic will also be in non-competitive action away to Greece.

England face Scotland at Celtic Park too, with the Reds' four-strong contingent of Lallana, Lambert, Sterling and Henderson currently available.

November 19

Toure and Ivory Coast face their final African Cup of Nations qualifier at home to Cameroon where, in all likelihood, a positive result is needed to reach next year's finals.
