Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is expected to be named new Liverpool manager this week.

The Sunday Express says Hodgson will be appointed Liverpool's new boss in time to welcome some of the players back for pre-season training on Friday.

It is believed the majority of Liverpool's senior players are happy with Hodgson's impending arrival, but they won't be back at Anfield until the end of July following a break after the World Cup.
