Liverpool’s plans for the World Cup break are continuing to take shape with the Reds set to face Lyon in a mid-season friendly in Dubai.
Jurgen Klopp's side are flying out to the region to coincide with the Qatar World Cup this winter as they undertake something akin to a pre-season training camp during the tournament, with plans for friendlies while away currently in the pipeline.
With a glamorous clash with AC Milan already in the works, the ECHO understands that the team will also take on Lyon while away for their mid-season training camp. Liverpool had previously looked at setting up a base in Cape Town, South Africa, before deciding that Dubai would be easier given the relatively short flight from Qatar for those eliminated from the World Cup.
