Liverpool are preparing to play a friendly during their pre-season tour of Japan on Thursday amid tsunami warnings in the country.

Arne Slot ’s side have been in Tokyo during a tour of the Far East and are scheduled to play Yokohama F.

Marinos at 11:30 BST, which is 19:30 local time.

At the time of writing, the match at the Nissan Stadium in Yokohama – a city just south of the capital, on Tokyo Bay – is still poised to go ahead, despite scary warnings from the Japanese government.

Earlier on Thursday, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake hit far-eastern Russia, just off the coast of the Kamchatka peninsula.

It has sparked tsunami and flood warnings all across the Pacific Ocean, with Russia, China, Japan, the United States and Ecuador among those bracing for waves.

The Japan's Meteorological Agency said in a statement: "Tsunamis are still being observed, and there is a risk of damage from tsunamis.

Please do not leave safe places until the warning is lifted.

"When the tsunami coincides with high tide, there is a possibility that the water level will rise further than it currently is.”

Japan’s government has warned that waves could reach as high as 3m (9ft) and has urged residents on the east coast to evacuate to higher ground.

The warning is in place from the island of Hokkaido in the north to Wakayama prefecture in the south and affects 1.9million people.

Yokohama is around halfway down the east coast of the main Japanese island of Honshu, but has not yet been impacted.

Liverpool owner and Fenway Sports Group (FSG) chief John W.

Henry's wife, Linda Pizzuti, was with the squad in Tokyo earlier on Thursday and posted an update on social media.

She took to Instagram to post a picture from her balcony, showing water and the Tokyo Bay, writing: "Tsunami warnings in parts of Japan, but Tokyo Bay is calm."

It seems as though the match will go ahead without any interruptions after Liverpool released their line-up against Yokohama.
