While the players are away on international duty, there has still been plenty of Liverpool news to catch up on.
Further Anfield Road End delays
The upper tier of the Anfield Road End won’t open until 2024, Liverpool have announced.
CEO Billy Hogan said the club have made the difficult and “frustrating” decision now in order to remove any uncertainty for supporters. It is already quite late for fans who may have booked travel for the match vs. Everton on October 21.
Supporters who were supposed to be in the upper tier will keep their credits going forward, though.
It also means Liverpool stand to lose at least £10.5 million from potential matchday revenue.
