Liverpool say their Anfield stadium has been re-opened after a security scare led to an evacuation on Tuesday afternoon.
Earlier in the day the club said the ground had been evacuated "as a precautionary measure", with police confirming a man had gone missing during a stadium tour.
Merseyside Police were on the scene with sniffer dogs when the club were unable to guarantee that the man had left the stadium. Liverpool raised the alarm shortly after 3pm.
A Liverpool Football Club spokesperson said: "Anfield Stadium is now fully reopened, following a precautionary evacuation earlier this afternoon.
"During the incident, the club's priority at all times was the safety and well-being of everyone involved.
"We can confirm the emergency services were called and we would like to thank them for their thorough response. Also, we acknowledge the patience of those impacted by the temporary closure, which allowed this matter to be dealt with in an appropriate and responsible manner."
A Police statement said: "Merseyside Police have confirmed a search of Anfield stadium has been completed following security concerns raised earlier.
"Officers and the club are satisfied that there are no people unaccounted for inside the ground and that the stadium is secure."
Liverpool are due to host Bournemouth in a Capital One Cup fifth-round tie on Wednesday night.
