Liverpool re-open training ground after Covid-19 outbreak



The new headquarters of the football team was in Kirby in November 2020.

The training ground was closed for two days after an outbreak of Covid-19 among players and staff.

The first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final between the two teams was postponed because of a lack of communication.

There were multiple cases reported among a squad stretched by players leaving for the Africa Cup of Nations.

In Lijnders' absence, assistant Peter Krawietz is in charge.

The 50-year-old German, who has worked alongside Klopp for more than 20 years, is leading the preparations for the FA Cup third-round tie against Shrewsbury Town.

The Africa Cup of Nations will be without three players from the Reds.

Goalkeeper Alisson, defender Joel Matip and forward Roberto Firmino missed Sunday's draw with the Blues after returning suspected positive Covid tests, and training was canceled on Tuesday after more positive results.
