Aldridge: Warm weather break is just what Klopp’s Liverpool need

Liverpool’s trip to La Manga is a welcome break for the squad and will bring them back refreshed to ensure they finish the season in the top four – according to club legend John Aldridge.

Jurgen Klopp’s side were knocked out of the FA Cup in the fourth round by Wolves in January, as part of a miserable run that saw them only win once in ten matches.

They bounced back by beating Tottenham Hotspur last weekend but currently have slipped to fifth in the Premier League table.

And a trip to Spain to recharge the batteries while most of the top flight are engaged in the fifth round of the FA Cup could prove vital claims Aldridge.

“They’ll have a few days off, regroup, it’s great for morale, team spirit as well,” he said.

“He can work on some finer things that maybe we’ve fallen short of, especially in the last month or two, some fresh ideas. I think it’s a really good idea.

“It’s going to be tough. You’ve got United now in the equation, Everton will fall short but we’ve got to play them as well.

“Really, Chelsea apart, you don’t really know who’s going to finish in those next three places.

“We want to make sure, at all costs, that we’re one of them.”
