Jurgen Klopp is take his players away from for warm weather training as he uses Liverpool’s FA Cup exit to enforce a mini winter break.

The Liverpool manager says he has the opportunity to create a second ‘pre-season’ ahead of the final 13 Premier League games. The Liverpool players will head to La Manga in Spain on Wednesday where they will spend five days.

The change of scene is not entirely due to the climate, however.

Initially, Klopp made an approach to the Football Association to see if St George’s Park was available, but it is in use this week.
