Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has expressed his frustration that his new signings' bedding-in process at Anfield will be disrupted by the forthcoming international break.
Dalglish is eager to get his squad settled, but after Saturday's home fixture against Bolton, and with their Barclays Premier League campaign just three games old, the group will then split as the players go off to represent their countries.
"It's a fantastic honour to represent your country and you should go and do that, but you get a wee bit of momentum going (at club level), then you're off for two weeks and have to pick it up again and start off," said Dalglish, whose side's next match after Bolton is a trip to Stoke on September 10.
"It's difficult, but it's the same for everybody - and everybody knew the score before we started (the season).
"New boys come in, they're settling down and here for a wee while, and then they've got to go and represent their countries.
"It's not undermining the honour of representing your country, it's just a fact of life - the longer they're here, the quicker they'll settle."
