ANFIELD has been evacuated just minutes before Liverpool’s pre-season friendly with Athletic Bilbao.

The Reds were set to take on the Spanish big boys at their famous home at 5pm.

But stadium staff were forced to perform an emergency evacuation just minutes before kick-off.

Fans were asked to leave the ground after the alarm began sounding throughout the stadium.

The cause of the alarm is currently unclear.

THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
