Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is set to meet with chairman Tom Werner as part of his end-of-season review this week, as reports over the Northern Irishman’s future continue.
Despite a disappointing campaign, which concluded with a disastrous 6-1 defeat at Stoke on the final day of the season, the club have maintained the manager's position is not under immediate threat.
Although Werner is due to arrive on Tuesday, it is understood principal owner John W Henry will not be accompanying him.
Werner is England to attend the Premier League's AGM, which takes place on Wednesday and Thursday this week, which also suggests a more routine nature to his meeting with the boss.
Rodgers has had annual reviews of the season since he was appointed three years ago, and he is due to sit down for the third instalment with Mike Gordon, owners Fenway Sports Group's key man at Anfield, for a "robust and thorough" examination of the previous ten months.
The Reds boss has had regular contact with the club's American-based owners throughout the season and Werner's visit is likely to just be an extension of that dialogue, even if the questions are slightly more uncomfortable after Rodgers missed out on FSG's minimum target of Champions League football by finishing sixth.
News that Jurgen Klopp, one of the names touted as a possible replacement, is to take a break after leaving Borussia Dortmund has further strengthened the short-term position of Rodgers, who only signed a new four-year contract 12 months ago after almost winning the title.
