Liverpool could face Anfield ban if fans continue to ignore social distancing protocol

Premier League champions Liverpool could face an Anfield ban if Reds fans continue to ignore social distancing protocol by celebrating in public. The Anfield ban story comes after the Liverpool title celebration which saw a large number of Liverpool fans flooding towards Pier Head in the city centre to commemorate their team's success, despite warnings of the spread of coronavirus. Reports claim that the Anfield ban will mean that Jurgen Klopp's side will not be allowed to play any of their home games at the iconic Anfield stadium for the remainder of the season.
