And the the Liverpool Echo have revealed third-placed Liverpool have decided to focus on relaxation with a few days to switch-off.
Klopp has used the March international break in his last two seasons at Anfield to work with a depleted squad in the Canary Islands.
But he has decided to reward his free-flowing side with some time off to recuperate.
There are 16 senior first-team players away representing their countries and a selection of academy players have also been called up by various nations, making it tough to supplement the first-team squad.
