Liverpool will play their final Champions League Group D game against FC Midtjylland in Herning, Denmark, after UEFA confirmed to ESPN that Danish coronavirus restrictions will no longer force the fixture to be moved to a neutral venue.

Dortmund had been pencilled in as an alternative host for the game due to an outbreak of a new strain of COVID-19 in Denmark which had resulted in a strict travel ban to and from the country.
