Diogo Jota was taken off the pitch in the second half during Portugal's 1–0 defeat against Spain in the UEFA Nations League.
This led to Liverpool fans worrying about a potential injury to the 25-year-old but it turns out that the substitution was merely a precaution.
Speaking to O Jogo, the Portuguese said: "I made the substitution request. I didn't have a pre-season.
"It's only my second game as a starter this season, and I was already feeling a little tired at the end of the season."
Therefore, Jota will be available for selection when Liverpool return to Premier League action with a home clash against Brighton on Saturday, October 1.
