Liverpool player or staff member ‘receives positive coronavirus test’ during pre-season training camp in Austria

A Liverpool player or staff member has tested positive for coronavirus during the club’s pre-season tour of Austria, it has been claimed.

The Premier League champions are being put through their paces ahead of the 2020/21 season, which gets underway in less than a month’s time.

Jurgen Klopp had wanted to hold his pre-season camp in France but plans had to be changed because of the coronavirus pandemic and an increase in cases in the country.

And now Kronen Zeitung claim a member of the Liverpool party has tested positive for COVID-19 in Austria even though the club are sealed off from the public.

The Reds are based on the outskirts of Salzburg as their pre-season got underway on Saturday following their first league title win in 30 years.

Liverpool had earlier changed the location from Evian after France was added to the United Kingdom’s quarantine list.

Klopp told the Liverpool official website: “Not everybody was involved but I have to say Ray Haughan, Phil Holliday… it was not an easy task!

“The last five days were obviously very difficult because it looked like step-by-step more likely that France [would] come on the quarantine list and that’s a decision we are not involved in, we cannot judge even. We just have to try to react to it.

“I had a call with Ray and said, ‘We should try to create a plan B.’ In this moment his holiday was over, Phil Holliday’s holiday was over and they just tried to make sure that we find something.

“There were two countries where we were looking for it, it was Austria and Germany. Austria here, a lot of teams come here, always came in the past, a lot of teams are here now in the moment – maybe not from England but from all other countries pretty much. It’s a good place absolutely. I have to say, all credit to the hotel that they made it happen.

“So we are in a safe environment, it looks really all set. Before we came here I think Nice were here, so they are used to these kind of things.

“We ask for quite a lot in these moments and they delivered all so far. The pitch is great, which is good, the rooms are good, the food is our food, so it’s all how it should be.”

a fine choice of words for a post mate

It seems almost inevitable with him. 

 

He's such a decent lad and seems really popular amongst the team, but just seems so susceptible to injuries.

 

Hope its not too serious.  

Yeah..Klopp's reaction is a bit worrying, but hopefully OK
