Liverpool have issued mental health advice to their players, telling them that what happens with the Premier League title is out of their control and they should focus on the effort to minimise coronavirus infection rates.
A presentation by the club’s sports psychologist Lee Richardson, seen by Sportsmail, also offers Jurgen Klopp’s men tips on breathing to ease anxiety levels and warns them not to post anything on social media that others could view as insensitive.
Before the outbreak of coronavirus triggered the suspension of football, Liverpool had surged to a 25-point lead over Manchester City and their 30-year title drought was on the verge of coming to an end.
