Klopp facing potential Dortmund return as Liverpool fixture venue in doubt Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp could be returning to Borussia Dortmund next month as the Reds wait to see where they will play their final Champions League game, a report says. According to the Liverpool Echo, the Reds are awaiting a decision on which venue will host their game away at FC Midtjylland. The match is due to be played on December 9 but current UK Government coronavirus travel restrictions has put the trip to Denmark in jeopardy. The source states that UEFA is aware of the situation and is in discussions with both clubs before making a final decision. It adds that, should the game have to be played elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund’s Westfalenstadion is the favoured option as an alternate venue. Klopp became a club legend during his seven years at the European giants, winning two Bundesliga titles and reaching the 2013 Champions League final. The German has been back to his old stomping ground once since his departure in 2015, earning a 1-1 first-leg draw as Liverpool boss in the quarter final of the Europa League in 2016. The Westfalenstadion is a happy place for Reds fans as it was the stadium in which their team won the 2001 UEFA Cup final. On Wednesday night, the Premier League champions can seal a place in the knock-out stages of the Champions League with a win over Atalanta at Anfield.
