Newcastle United to be Without Four Key Players for Carabao Cup Final Against Liverpool
Newcastle United will be without four key players when they face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley on Sunday. The Magpies are looking to win their first piece of silverware since 1955, but their task has been made more difficult by the absence of several important players.
Centre-back Sven Botman and left-back Lewis Hall are both out for the rest of the season, while club captain Jamaal Lascelles is also sidelined. Additionally, winger Anthony Gordon will miss the game due to a three-game domestic ban after being sent off in the FA Cup loss to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Newcastle will be hoping that Alexander Isak, who has been struggling with fitness issues in recent weeks, will be able to play a key role in the final. The Sweden international has started the last two fixtures, including the 1-0 win at West Ham United on Monday.
Liverpool’s Injury Concerns
Liverpool, meanwhile, are expected to be without Trent Alexander-Arnold, who picked up an ankle problem in the Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday. Joe Gomez, Conor Bradley, and Tyler Morton are also confirmed absentees.
The Reds will be looking to defend the title they won last year against Chelsea, and they will be hoping to make history by becoming the first team to win the Carabao Cup in consecutive seasons.
A Tough Task Ahead for Newcastle
Newcastle United will face a tough task in the Carabao Cup final, but they will be determined to overcome their injury woes and win their first piece of silverware in over 60 years. The Magpies have made significant progress under manager Eddie Howe, and they will be hoping to cap off an impressive season with a major trophy.
