Liverpool have abandoned plans for a pre-season trip to Asia and will remain in Europe as a result of the outbreak of coronavirus.
The Reds were exploring the prospect of a lucrative one-off game in China this summer but have now shelved those plans.
Instead, Liverpool will remain in Europe during pre-season for the first time in a decade, having spent the last two summers in America.
The Reds' last trip to Asia came back in 2017 when they competed in the Premier League Asia Trophy in Hong Kong, though that event was hampered by severe weather conditions.
