Liverpool will have to play the remainder of the year's home games with a reduced capacity.

The Reds are going through with renovations at their famous Anfield stadium this term.

The club will now have to close their Anfield Road Stand until the start of 2024 at the very least.

Per The Mail, fans are frustrated at how the 80 million stadium redevelopment has been scheduled in this way.

Games against Everton, Nottingham Forest, Brentford, Fulham, Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle United will feature the lower capacity.

When Buckingham Group filed for administration, that impacted people's livelihoods, people's jobs so I do want to make sure that we just remember that and mention it, and I do want to thank everybody who has worked on the project and all those that are currently working on the project," chief executive Billy Hogan said.

And I certainly want to thank all of our supporters for their patience and understanding while we navigate through the situation, which as I mentioned has been incredibly challenging over the last few months.'

He added: Until we have visibility of all the information needed, we're going to have to maintain the status quo for the remainder of the calendar year.

Essentially meaning capacity at Anfield will remain the same as for the previous home games that we've seen this season.

The lower tier of the stand remaining open and the upper tier remaining closed until the end of the calendar year."
