Liverpool
will be named as one of several clubs under investigation by UEFA for
possible financial fair play (FFP) breaches this week.
Sportsmail understands that an announcement by the European governing body is expected to be made as early as Thursday.
Liverpool,
Monaco, Inter Milan and Roma - who were all absent from European
competition last season and have recently submitted their accounts to
UEFA - are due to be asked to provide further information on their
finances to the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB).
UEFA is set to investigate Liverpool for breaching financial fair play regulations

The Reds are hoping to write off proportion of losses as allowable stadium expenditure
No
financial sanctions will be imposed at this stage however - though a
provisional sanction to withhold Champions League money is possible as a
next step in the process and the CFCB will hold talks and ask for more
information from all the clubs involved before making any such decision.
Liverpool made a loss of £49.8million for the 2012-13 season, and £40.5million for the 10-month period before that.
The
Merseyside club will hope to avoid any sanctions by writing off a big
chunk of losses as allowable stadium expenditure - the 2011-12 accounts
reported that £49.6million was associated with Liverpool's stadium
costs, £35million coming from former co-owner Tom Hick's aborted plan to
build a new stadium on Stanley Park which new owners Fenway Sports
Group had to scrap.
Brendan Rodgers could see his side's Champions League prize money withheld
