Virgil van Dijk insists a revised summer schedule will be vital in helping Liverpool get back on track - as the defender highlighted how the mid-season World Cup affected his form.
In what represents a break in tradition under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool will undertake their European-based training camp first, before a more commercially-driven jaunt to the Far East.
The Reds' players will report back for duty on July 8 ahead of a trip to Germany. Klopp is determined to whip his side into shape earlier than last summer, which he felt contributed toward a slow start that saw them win just one of their first four games in the Premier League.
