Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has decided not take his squad on a warm-weather training camp during the Premier League’s winter break.
The Reds boss has traditionally taken his players to Spain for a warm-weather training camp in February since taking charge at Anfield.
The Premier League's new mid-season break means Liverpool are not scheduled to contest a league fixture for two weeks after they face Southampton at Anfield on February 1.
But Klopp has decided to reward his table toppers with a week-long break from training, according to the London Evening Standard.
That is subject to the Reds not being involved in a FA Cup fourth-round replay against Shrewsbury Town, scheduled to take place on February 5.
Liverpool will travel to New Meadow next Sunday to face the League One side.
This Sunday they race bitter rivals Manchester United at Anfield.
