Liverpool have requested their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Arsenal be postponed following a COVID outbreak in the Reds squad.
“In response, the club halted preparations at the AXA Training Centre, meaning Tuesday’s first-team training session was cancelled. Manager Jurgen Klopp and three first-team players missed the 2-2 draw with Chelsea after returning positive tests, and the extra challenge of the Africa Cup of Nations has seen them lose more squad members.Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has also spent time away from the touchline after testing positive
An EFL spokesperson said: “The League has this evening received a request from Liverpool to postpone Thursday’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg versus Arsenal, which will now be considered in accordance with the competition rules as set out at the start of the season alongside information submitted by the Club.
Amazing how many fans are up in arms because Liverpool have asked to cancel a game for the first time while others have had 2 or 3 games cancelled.
CEMEN, Lemah. begini doang? 🥱 takut kaLah? pake kutang saja sama rok

Excuses because they won't have Salah and Mane.
Tin pot cup anyway
Play your Under 23s like you did before, when it suited you.
We all know why they want that cancelled and nothing to do with covid. Cos they ain't mentioned their fa cup game. If most of your team out with covid. You won't be able to play the Sunday game neither. But they ain't mentioned that game. So no they couldn't cancel it.
