Liverpool's victorious Carabao Cup performance over Chelsea witnessed a last-minute goal by Virgil van Dijk, securing the Reds their 10th trophy.
Despite the celebratory mood, attention now turns to the upcoming FA Cup clash with Southampton, where Manager Jürgen Klopp faces challenges due to injuries.
Ryan Gravenberch, forced out of the match against Chelsea following a harsh tackle by Moises Caicedo, left Liverpool stunned. Despite the team's triumph in extra time, Klopp expressed concern about potential ligament damage, stating, "I hope it’s not that bad. They did an X-ray, so it’s not broke but the ligaments got something and that’s how it is."
In the aftermath of the game, Wataru Endo was spotted wearing a protective walking boot. While Klopp didn't specify the nature of the injury, he praised Endo's exceptional footballing skills and defensive prowess, noting, "Wataru Endo, oh my god. He walked through the ceremony with the stiffest legs I ever saw. I said a couple of times we are lucky. He might be 30 or 31 in the passport, but he is not; he’s a machine." As Liverpool gears up for the FA Cup clash, Klopp faces strategic decisions in light of these injury challenges.
