Liverpool will defer plans to leave Melwood until the end of the year.
A new £50 million training complex in Kirkby was set to be opened this summer but has been pushed back due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Building work on the facility ground to a halt in mid-March with the outbreak of Covid-19 and has led to an indefinite hiatus on its completion date.
With the new Premier League season beginning on September 12, Jurgen Klopp’s side will begin preparations for their title defence at Melwood.
Anfield officials remain committed to the Kirkby switch but have delayed the move until later in the year to avoid causing unnecessary disruptions.
It is understood that Melwood’s layout has been adjusted in order to meet social distancing measures designed to limit potential Covid-19 contamination.
The land on which the Reds’ long-standing West Derby base sits has been sold for affordable housing which will be built after the club’s departure.
However the league champions have an additional 12-month lease on the complex, which has served as the club continuously since the late 1950s.
Meanwhile it has emerged Liverpool lobbied for Manchester City to be denied entry to the Champions League during their appeal over a two-year ban.
Pep Guardiola’s side successfully overturned UEFA sanctions for Financial Fair Play breaches when the case went before the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
In their written reasoning, the Swiss legislators revealed that nine Premier League clubs made a case for City to be denied a ‘stay of execution’.
A joint motion signed by Liverpool, Arsenal, Burnley Chelsea, Leicester City, Manchester United, Newcastle, Tottenham and Wolves was received in March.
