Liverpool admitted that a number of the club’s supporters will be disappointed with the decision. The club are, however, following the government directives and have taken the decisive action to promote social distancing. The online store will still remain functional and cater to the demands of fans.

The Reds have also asked fans to donate food so that it may be handed over to the less fortunate and those in need. An earlier statement had instructed fans to drop off such donations either at Anfield or at club stores. But following the decision to close down these sites, interested donors can do so via text donation.

The club has voluntarily suspended all activities at the club’s Melwood training complex. All players and staff will voluntarily suspend activity at the facility as a temporary measure that will be overturned once the situation is stable.
