Report of Car Accident Near Anfield Involving Liverpool Players Lacks Credible Confirmation
Just two hours ago, a report surfaced claiming a serious car accident occurred outside Anfield Stadium, allegedly involving two Liverpool players who were standing near the roadside at the time. The incident was shared by OKPOPS and attributed to “HBAgency” and writer Dandozzy.
Liverpool are currently in pre-season training at the AXA Training Centre following their Premier League title win, with preparations underway for their friendly match against Preston on July 13, 2025.
However, major outlets such as the BBC, The Guardian, and Liverpool Echo have not reported any such accident involving Liverpool players on July 10, 2025. The absence of verified reporting suggests the incident either did not occur or has not been officially documented.
Context: Previous Incidents Not Linked to Anfield Crash Claim
While Liverpool has recently been linked to tragic car-related events, none match the details of this alleged Anfield crash. For instance:
- On May 26, 2025, during Liverpool’s title parade, a 53-year-old man drove into a crowd on Water Street, injuring over 100 people. No players were involved, and the event happened in the city centre, not near Anfield.
- On July 3, 2025, star forward Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva tragically died in a car crash in Zamora, Spain. The accident, caused by a suspected tire blowout, prompted widespread mourning but is unrelated to the new claim near Anfield.
Social media posts, particularly on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), may have contributed to confusion by sharing unverified or misleading information.
No Evidence Supporting Claims of New Crash Near Anfield
There are no credible updates identifying the alleged players involved or confirming the circumstances of the supposed crash. Liverpool FC, currently under the management of Arne Slot, has been focused on honoring Jota’s memory and preparing for the new season, with no official word on any new roadside incidents.
Until reliable news outlets or the club itself issues a statement, fans are urged to treat these claims with skepticism.
