Liverpool will face Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final without one of their key players - Trent Alexander-Arnold is ruled out due to an ankle injury.
Major Blow for Liverpool
Alexander-Arnold suffered the injury during Liverpool’s Champions League clash against PSG, a match that ended in heartbreak after a penalty shootout defeat. Head coach Arne Slot confirmed the disappointing news for Liverpool fans: “Trent is not available. He will not be there at the final. But he is still to be assessed for how long it will take, but we do expect him back before the end of the season.” His absence leaves Liverpool without a recognized right-back, as both Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez are also sidelined with injuries. Jarell Quansah is expected to step in.
Quansah Steps Up
The young defender, recently called up to the England squad, will have to rise to the occasion on the big stage. Slot praised his progress: “He has shown that he is no longer just a young talent but a player who deserves a spot in the first team. Every time we’ve needed him, he has stepped up.” His pace, strength, and technical ability will be crucial in filling the gap left by Alexander-Arnold.
Newcastle Without Anthony Gordon
Newcastle also faces setbacks, with one of their key attacking threats, Anthony Gordon, suspended for the final. Manager Eddie Howe remains optimistic despite the challenges: “Losing important players is never easy, but we have to stay united and strong as a team.”

Liverpool and Newcastle will battle it out on Sunday, with these key absences set to play a significant role in the outcome. Can Liverpool cope without Alexander-Arnold and rely on the young Quansah? Will Newcastle overcome the loss of Gordon to claim their first major trophy since 1955? All will be decided on Sunday at 4:30 PM.
