Liverpool's £60m Anfield redevelopment delayed by 12 months due to coronavirus crisis

The Reds had hoped to begin work on expanding their stadium's capacity to 61,000 before the end of 2020 but have been forced to postpone plans

Liverpool have announced that their £60 million ($75m) redevelopment of Anfield will be delayed by 12 months due to the coronavirus crisis.

The Reds had hoped to submit planning permission this month for a proposed upgrade of the Anfield Road stand, with work slated to begin before the end of 2020.

But they have been forced to postpone those plans by at least a year due to the impact that Covid-19 is having on the construction industry.
