Liverpool's pre-season training camp in Austria continues as normal, despite reports of a positive case of coronavirus.
The Reds flew to Austria on Saturday after a last-minute change of plan due to France being added to the UK government's quarantine list.
The Premier League champions were initially slated to re-visit the Evian-les-bains camp that has proven popular with Jurgen Klopp over the last two summers.
However, the club took the decision late last week to fly to Austria instead where they set up camp in the town of Saalfelden.
Klopp has been putting his players through their paces at the base in the Austrian alps this week but reports from the region have claimed that someone in the party has been diagnosed with COVID-19.
Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung made the claim on Tuesday morning after reporting that a member of the travelling squad had tested positive for the virus.
Anfield sources remain tight-lipped on the matter, but it is understood the training camp continues as normal as Klopp aims to whip his charges into shape ahead of the defence of the Premier League title.
Liverpool have observed strict coronavirus protocol since their return to pre-season on Saturday with testing before and after the club flew out to the region.
The Reds, as per the Premier League's testing protocols, were regularly checked following the resumption of action at the end of June and players were reminded of their responsibilities last month before their vacation period.
Speaking last month, Klopp said: "The boys can go on holiday, obviously, and we know from everybody where they will go, and it’s all OK – these countries are all completely fine.
"But the situation can change, constantly, so now this is the responsibility of the boys. They must make sure they know when they have to leave the specific country.
"They have to follow the news and they have to react. It is not our job to say: ‘Maybe Spain closes the border again,’ or whatever. The boys are responsible for that, and they know that as well.
“We will do as much as we can to help but they need to be aware of the situation. None of us can go on holiday and do the things that maybe you could do in the past. We all have to still be disciplined, but I will say the boys were exceptional.
"Not only our players, but all the players in the Premier League. Not one single new case after the season restarted – that shows they are good boys, all of them, and I hope it stays like this and we will come back and train again."
