Liverpool reopen training ground – but Jurgen Klopp not present

Preparations for Sunday’s FA Cup third-round tie at home to League One side Shrewsbury will resume with assistant manager Peter Krawietz taking charge of the available players.

Manager Jurgen Klopp and players Alisson Becker, Joel Matip and Roberto Firmino will have ended their isolation periods by the weekend, although it has yet to be confirmed whether any will be present at Anfield for the match.

Klopp’s other assistant manager Pep Lijnders is still absent, however, after testing positive on Tuesday night, with a number of other players and staff also remaining in isolation.

In a statement Liverpool said: “After consultation with the relevant public health authority, operations have now resumed within the first-team set-up at the training ground.”
