A significant weather alert has been issued for Liverpool FC supporters planning to attend the upcoming pre-season friendlies against Spanish side Athletic Club, as Storm Floris is forecast to sweep across the United Kingdom.

The highly anticipated double-header at Anfield on Monday marks a pivotal moment for the Reds, fresh from their Far East tour, as they prepare to host the formidable La Liga outfit in back-to-back encounters.

This adverse weather system, bringing winds estimated to reach speeds of 40-50mph in certain areas, poses potential disruption for the throngs of fans expected at the sold-out stadium.

Authorities and club officials are closely monitoring the meteorological developments, urging attendees to exercise caution and stay updated on any revised travel or matchday information to ensure their safety and comfort.

Despite the weather concerns, these crucial pre-season fixtures will provide an invaluable opportunity for the loyal Anfield faithful to witness the club’s seven new summer signings in action for the very first time.

Among the notable additions generating considerable buzz is the highly anticipated arrival of striker Hugo Ekitike, whose debut is keenly awaited by fans eager to see the squad’s reinforced attacking prowess.

Following the Athletic Club clashes on home turf, Arne Slot’s squad is set to embark on another significant challenge, journeying to Wembley Stadium on August 10th to compete against Crystal Palace for the coveted Community Shield.

These early pre-season encounters are vital for squad cohesion and tactical refinement, offering a crucial prelude to what promises to be an exhilarating and demanding Premier League season ahead for Liverpool.
