Liverpool attacker Fabio Carvalho has pledged his international future to Portugal.

Carvalho also qualifies for England.

But the Hull City loanee told the Liverpool Echo: Yeah, exactly (it would have been a chance to play more). There was a little hiccup with Portugal, a little misunderstanding let's say.

It was my fault.

There were other factors going into it, but I think the way I handled the situation, because I had a family matter, wasn't the best. But I'm still learning and I've learnt from my mistake.

I want to play for Portugal. I have obviously played for England but I don't really have a British passport to play in like European competitions or the World Cup. So I think that door is closed if I'm being honest with you.

But I'm Portuguese and I want to play for Portugal. If they call me up, I'll be willing to represent."
