Thiago Alcantara forced out of EFL Cup
Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara has been withdrawn from the Reds’ starting XI for the EFL Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley Stadium after suffering an injury in the warm-up.
Naby Keita replaced the Spain international, with Harvey Elliott taking Keita’s place among the substitutes.
Thiago – who was seen to be crying on the bench – has been in excellent form for the Reds, including playing 68 minutes in the 6-0 demolition of Leeds United on Wednesday before being subbed for Jordan Henderson, presumably to ensure he was fit for Sunday’s final.
It had earlier been confirmed that Diogo Jota had made the bench after missing Premier League wins over Norwich City and Leeds United following a knock picked up against Inter in the Champions League on February 16.
Romelu Lukaku was named on the bench for a second straight game by Thomas Tuchel, while Chelsea opted for Edouard Mendy ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal.
