LONDON, Jan 5 — Liverpool have asked the English Football League to reschedule the first leg of their League Cup semi-final against Arsenal on Thursday due to a rising number of Covid-19 cases at the club, the Premier League team said on Tuesday.
“Among the considerations which led to today’s application to the EFL is the need for travelling supporters to be given as much notice as possible of any potential postponement.” Manager Jurgen Klopp, along with goalkeeper Alisson Becker, forward Roberto Firmino and defender Joel Matip were ruled out of the 2-2 draw against Chelsea at the weekend after returning positive tests.
Virgil van Dijk, Thiago Alcantara, Fabinho and Curtis Jones were also forced into isolation last month. — Reuters
