The Reds will leave for Switzerland this Thursday - when it is hoped that Harry Kewell will be part of the travelling party - and the Anfield supremo has made clear how important the week-long trip is ahead of a crucial season for both him and his side.

Houllier said: "The training camp has four important factors. It gives the player the chance to work hard together in the same place. It allows us to strengthen the team bonding and gives new players a chance to fit in.

"It is also an opportunity to make it clear what rules and values we have here at Liverpool."
