Liverpool’s Anfield Road end expansion has steadily taken shape since the day Reds manager Jurgen Klopp broke ground on the project just over 13 months ago.
The stadium redevelopment is now more than halfway complete and remains on track to be ready in time for the start of the 2023-24 season, according to Liverpool FC. But in a new update on progress the club has confirmed that a different approach will be sought on one aspect of the complex build in the new year.
While the completed stand will add 7,000 more supporters to the L4 stadium, part of the building process requires removing the roof from the existing, two-tiered Anfield Road End. Plans had been in place for this part of the project, earmarked an upcoming milestone in the summer, to be carried out during the World Cup break.
