Liverpool's Anfield stadium cleared to host cup tie after 'missing man' mystery

27 October 2015 22:31

Liverpool's Capital One Cup fourth-round fixture with Bournemouth will go ahead as planned on Wednesday after Anfield was cleared to reopen following an evacuation.

The club reported a man had gone missing from a tour group that was visiting Anfield, which led to a police operation at the stadium from mid-afternoon until late evening.

But after a search, both Merseyside Police and the football club said they were confident the stadium was secure.

"Anfield Stadium is now fully reopened, following a precautionary evacuation earlier this afternoon," said a club spokesman.
