Many have questioned why the 27-year-old hasn’t made it off the bench for Liverpool’s recent run of fixtures, but an ongoing groin strain may have been the cause.

Shaqiri’s joins Andy Robertson on the list of Reds players omitted from international duty after the Scotland captain was withdrawn to undergo dental surgery.

Both Shaqiri and Robertson will hopefully be fit for selection against Tottenham Hotspur on March 31.
