The Reds will visit a Spanish training camp following the end of the domestic season on Sunday, to acclimatise to the expected high temperatures in Athens. Liverpool visited a training camp prior to the away game against Barcelona with pleasing results.

"We still have to finalise the details, but it is likely we will go away for five days to prepare after we play Charlton," said Rafa Benitez.

"When we did this before the Barcelona game it had a positive impact, although I know people talked about other things in the end.

"The most positive thing is we can work together in a climate and in conditions which will be more like those we will face in the final.

"I know people will mention that [the Portugal incident involving John Arne Riise and Craig Bellamy] again, but it is not an issue. We are thinking only about doing the right things to prepare the players for the final."
