Arne Slot isn’t shedding any tears over Liverpool not taking part in the FIFA Club World Cup in America this summer.
The Premier League champions will be able to put their feet up whilst Manchester City and Sunday's opponents Chelsea represent England in the new competition that runs from June 14-July 13.
‘In this moment, eight out of ten people who work in this business - maybe even ten out of ten - will feel is it really necessary to have another tournament for these players that already had such a long season,’ said the Liverpool manager.
