There are four Reds heading to the Copa America, one of which has recently won a major tournament with his nation. Alexis Mac Allister is part of the Argentina squad that are looking to win back-to-back Copa America titles.

Attacking pair Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez have been called up for Colombia and Uruguay. Nunez will be competing with Luis Suarez for the spot of starting striker. Luis Diaz’s Colombia are somewhat of a dark horse in the tournament, despite not having as many superstars as they favourites, they are currently 22 games unbeaten.

Finally, Alisson is first choice between the sticks for Liverpool after keeping eight league clean sheets this season. Manchester City’s Ederson narrowly misses out.
