Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits preseason preparations aren't ideal.
Klopp has opened up on his plans for the summer, where he hopes “intense" training sessions in Austria will have them champing at the bit come next month.
"We stay now for around about four weeks away and this is really, really strange. I never did that before," Klopp told the club's official site.
"It's different when you play a tournament; for example, some players did that obviously, like Euros or World Cups or African Cups or whatever.
"It's clear they have a similar situation but it's a preparation after a season for a short period. We prepare after a long break for a long season.
He continued: "So the training will be really intense from a specific point of view. It's now already intense for the situation they are in.
"So we have to be creative and everybody is responsible for keeping the mood up. I never experienced a situation like that – 28 days is really long. But it's good as well.
"We have enough time to train, we have enough time to talk and when the players from the Euros or the Copa [America] come back we are hopefully able to bring them in without quarantine and these kinds of things."
