Liverpool have made a late alteration to Anfield ahead of the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain following a UEFA investigation.

Arne Slot's side are looking to overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first leg against the reigning Champions League holders.

They were outclassed during the first leg in France, with Liverpool's defence simply unable to cope with PSG's constant attacking threat despite adopting a more conservative approach.

Slot says he will not make significant changes to that approach for the second leg, underlining the current gulf in quality between the two sides.

Aside from the match itself in front of their home fans, Liverpool have had to conduct a small amount of work on Anfield itself.

Galatasaray winger Noa Lang suffered a severely lacerated thumb during the closing stages of the last 16 tie between the two sides at Anfield last month.

The winger collided with the LED advertising boards at the Anfield Road end, and his thumb became jammed between two panels.

UEFA conducted an investigation into the incident, which saw Lang avoid having to have his thumb amputated after emergency treatment.

The Athletic report that 'work has been carried out' to modify the goalside boards that have impact gaps, thus avoiding any future occurrence of Lang's injury.

It is added that the club believe the injury was a 'freak accident' and that the alterations will prevent any repeat.

Lang's finger was detached by the incident, but doctors were able to save it.

Dominik Szoboszlai ran over to the Netherlands international to comfort him immediately afterwards, while Liverpool captain and his international team-mate Virgil van Dijk offered his support in a post-match interview.

Lang told Ziggo Sport after being released from hospital: "I'm right-handed. It's not really handy on the toilet and playing PlayStation doesn't really work either, but oh well: it's still attached.
