Liverpool Delegation Heads to Spain Following Surprising Jurgen Klopp Decision.
Liverpool delegation in Spain following surprising Jurgen Klopp decision Liverpool will return from a three-day break from training ahead of the Premier League run-in on Tuesday, according to Football Insider.
Jurgen Klopp and his team went to Barcelona straight after beating Brentford at Anfield on Saturday for their sixth successive league victory.
They will return to England on Tuesday to resume preparations for a trip to play struggling Leicester City the following Monday.
Spylax understands that Klopp’s players have not participated in any training sessions while in mainland Europe, with the emphasis instead being on recovery after a busy summer.
It is anticipated that this opportunity to regroup will be beneficial as Liverpool looks to cap off a disappointing season with nine consecutive victories.
Surprisingly, such a run might possibly see them secure an improbable Champions League spot after weekend results went their way.
Newcastle and Manchester United, the Reds’ top-four opponents, were defeated on Sunday by Arsenal and West Ham, respectively, reducing their previously large points advantage.
Both teams still have a game in hand over Klopp’s men, but they are under pressure to make it count before the aforementioned clash with Leicester on Monday.
Newcastle will begin the weekend’s action against Leeds United, who will be hoping for a new manager bounce with the recent appointment of Sam Allardyce.
Meanwhile, United face a Wolves side that should be able to play freely after virtually secured their survival with a win over Midlands rivals Aston Villa.
Dropped points for either would give Liverpool renewed optimism of a late run at Champions League qualifying, similar to what they did in an injury-plagued 2021-22 season.
