      Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hints Virgil van Dijk will miss Man City clash after World Cup exploits

      by

      LIVERPOOL manager Jurgen Klopp has hinted that Virgil van Dijk may not play against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup. Last season’s top two meet on December 22 for both teams’ first competitive match back after the World Cup break.

      But Klopp has revealed that he could be without a number of key players for the last-16 clash.
      The German suggested Van Dijk, Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold may not feature due to their exploits in Qatar.
      On the trio playing in the game, Klopp said: “Yeah, there’s a chance, of course – they’ve trained already.
      “Hendo [Henderson] is already training here. Virg [Van Dijk] is training here, but I don’t think we will try that.
      “Hendo, we will see, Trent [Alexander-Arnold] we will see.
      “But this group [has] worked now together for nearly two weeks and we made a real step and that’s cool. I don’t know at this moment.
      “I hope we all get through it and we all know in England, and in Europe in general, there’s kind of a virus going around, so we hope we can stay out of that.
      “Then we will make the decision obviously on Wednesday who can play on Thursday. It will be a very interesting game after that period [World Cup] but I’m looking forward to it.”

      Van Dijk played every minute of action for the Netherlands as they were knocked out at the quarter-final stage by Argentina.
      As for Henderson, he played four times for England and Alexander-Arnold featured for just 33 minutes in Qatar.
      Liverpool started a number of youngsters in the previous round as they overcame Derby 3-2 on penalties after the match finished goalless.
      In the defence, Nat Phillips and Joe Gomez started against the Rams.
      They could be needed again as Ibrahima Konate is potentially starting in the World Cup final for France just days before the match versus City. More

      Liverpool 4 AC Milan 1: Reds gear up for Man City Carabao Cup showdown with demolition of Italians

      by

      LIVERPOOL got an early Christmas gift as they got back to winning ways against AC Milan. Mohamed Salah and Co fired the Reds to a 4-1 win over the Serie A champions to give them a nice jolt before domestic football returns with a Carabao Cup tie against Manchester City on Thursday.

      They were in action in their second mid-season friendly, though their last showing in the Dubai Super Cup was less than stellar as they lost 3-1 to Ligue 1 side Lyon.
      However, this time around Jurgen Klopp’s side followed Arsenal’s example and beat Milan.
      Klopp managed to field a strong team against the Italians, with a number of his squad available again after returning from international duty.
      But the scoring was opened by a player not even at the World Cup.

      Salah found the net with a composed finish inside five minutes after an incisive move from Liverpool involving Roberto Firmino and a surging run from Joel Matip.
      Milan didn’t take it laying down, however, and were level again once Alexis Saelemaekers equalised just before the half-hour mark.
      Spaniard Thiago ensured Liverpool went into the interval in the lead with a brilliantly struck effort into the bottom corner after the ball fell to him just outside of the area.
      Stefano Pioli’s side pushed for another equaliser after the break, with Liverpool surviving a goalmouth scramble before Youns El-Halali struck the woodwork.

      However, they were left frustrated and were put to the sword by super-sub Darwin Nunez.
      The Uruguayan endured a difficult World Cup as his nation were eliminated in the group stage, but put it behind him to score twice for Liverpool off the bench.
      Youngster Bobby Clark, 17, set Nunez free with a brilliant pass, as the striker slotted into the bottom corner.
      His second goal saw him put away a far more conventional tap in following a cross from the right flank to make it 4-1.
      The customary penalty shootout followed, but Liverpool appeared to have initially left their penalty-taking boots at Anfield, as Kostas Tsimikas and Naby Keita missed the opening spot-kicks.
      Ismael Bennacer and Chelsea flop Tiemoue Bakayoko scored theirs to put Milan 2-0 up before Fabio Carvalho finally got the Reds on the scoreboard.
      Adrian then gave Liverpool hope of a comeback after palming away Yacine Adli’s effort.
      Clark then made it 2-2 to top off an exciting cameo, before El Hilali returned Milan’s advantage to 3-2.
      Nunez stepped up to convert his kick, though it will not be one to watch back with both a shocking take and even more shocking goalkeeping.

      The tie ended as Pierre Kalalu won the shootout to spare Milan’s blushes and pick up a point from the tournament.
      Regardless of the result, Liverpool know they must be in top shape to face Man City in the Carabao Cup and then a re-energised Aston Villa on Boxing Day for the Premier League’s return. More

      Man Utd forced to slash capacity for Carabao Cup clash against Burnley by 12,000 due to ambulance strikes

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have been forced to scrap thousands of tickets for their Carabao Cup tie with Burnley later this month.The Red Devils’ first game after the World Cup break comes on December 21 when they welcome the Championship leaders to Old Trafford.
      Man Utd have reduced Old Trafford’s capacity by 12,000 for the Burnley clashCredit: Getty
      But they will only be able to welcome a maximum capacity of 62,000 for the match due to a lack of ambulance service availability following strike announcements.
      Three unions, representing around 25,000 ambulance workers, will walk out in a coordinated strike on the day of the game.
      The Theatre of Dreams ordinarily holds more than 74,000 people.
      A club statement released on Thursday read: “Due to the unavailability of ambulance service personnel as a result of a day of industrial action affecting North West Ambulance Service taking place on Wednesday 21 December, the club has been advised by safety authorities to reduce the capacity of our Carabao Cup fixture against Burnley.

      “The club has worked hard to develop a medical plan which will enable us to allow approximately 62,000 fans to be in attendance, but with West Stand tier 2 and North Stand tier 3 required to be closed.
      “These areas were the only possible options for achieving the required reduction whilst meeting the robust medical plan requested by the authorities.
      “It was not possible to move the match to another date due to the unavailability of other key public services and matchday staff over the Christmas period, the conclusion of stadium works during the World Cup break, as well as the existing fixture schedule of both teams.
      “Everyone at Manchester United shares the inevitable disappointment caused by this news, particularly to those ticket holders who will be impacted. However, the safety of our fans is always our priority.

      “As the match is currently sold out, we have written to fans tonight in the affected areas offering the option of a full refund.
      “No action is required from fans with tickets in other areas of the ground at this time. We will provide a further update tomorrow detailing next steps.
      “We will do our utmost to relocate anyone who is impacted and has not chosen to accept a refund, prioritising Full and Cup Season Ticket holders.”
      Meanwhile, Man Utd prepared for their return to domestic action with a behind-closed-doors friendly against Everton at Carrington on Wednesday.
      And it ended with Erik ten Hag’s side playing out a 1-1 draw with Frank Lampard’s men.
      It was a small improvement for United after they suffered defeats to Cadiz CF and Real Betis while on a training camp in Spain last week. More

      Guardiola jokes he and Klopp will have to play themselves in Carabao Cup with fixture just days after World Cup final

      Guardiola admits he has no idea what his team will look like as most of his squad are heading for Qatar this weekend.
      He explained that those who go out early will be back in contention but others whose nations go deep in the tournament will need a break.
      So his squad could be so threadbare that the 51-year-old might have to pull on his boots himself.
      He said: “Yes I am going to play holding midfield and Jurgen is going to play left back – this is the strategy.”
      READ MORE WORLD CUP NEWS
      Guardiola will have just a handful of players staying behind and a training camp in Abu Dhabi has been pencilled in for early December.
      He added: “I don’t know how many we will have. Riyad doesn’t go to the World Cup, Erling Haaland, Sergio Gomez, Rico Lewis too but the rest are going.
      “If they go through the group stage to the last 16 then they need to have some days off.
      “If players don’t get through the group stage they will be able to play against Liverpool. If not, we will see.

      “After the World Cup we are here to train, see how many we have for Liverpool.
      “When we take breakfast we will see who we have. Players will come back day by day and I don’t know in what condition.”
      Even so, Pep says he feels sorry for the players who are not involved – particularly Haaland and Mahrez.
      He added: “I’d love for them all to be going.
      “I would prefer Erling to go with Norway, that they’d qualified. I think he will be in Marbella and Norway and then come back to training.” More
