Liverpool have one or two injury issues to deal with as they prepare for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final with Newcastle.

However, it’s clear that the Reds are in much better shape than they were before the same game last year against Chelsea.

Ultimately, thanks to Jurgen Klopp and the Liverpool academy players digging deep, the Reds were able to win a truly special trophy at Wembley.



This time, things look set to be different.



While the likes of Alisson Becker, Dominik Szoboszlai, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and even Mohamed Salah were missing last year, they’re all set to be available on Sunday.

Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss the match having also sat out of last year’s Wembley showpiece, but other than he, Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley, Liverpool are at full complement.

Nevertheless, you never know what can happen during a cup final.

And as he prepares his team in the best way possible, Arne Slot has called two Liverpool youngsters into senior training this week.

With an international break to come ahead of the final stretch in the Premier League, Slot does not massively need to rest players.

As a result, the Liverpool head coach is likely to go as strong as possible.

He will be without Trent and Caoimhin Kelleher is set to start in goal, but other than that it will be full strength.

With so many slots available on the bench, though, there is still perhaps room for one or two youngsters to be involved.

And as seen in the latest edition of Inside Training from LFCTV, both Trey Nyoni and James McConnell appear to have a chance of making the squad at Wembley.

As the players are put through their paces at the Liverpool training ground, Nyoni and McConnell appear to be the only two youngsters involved at all.

Slot has his usual four options available in midfield – as well as Wataru Endo – but such is the talent of these two young midfielders, the Dutchman clearly wants them around as well.

Both Nyoni and McConnell already have experience of the Carabao Cup final having both been in the squad which beat Chelsea last year.

McConnell excelled off the bench throughout extra-time, while Nyoni had not even made his first-team debut when he was named among the substitutes.

Given the options available to Slot, it would appear unlikely that either will get on the pitch this Sunday.

Not 18 until the end of June, it could be that Slot chooses to keep him at Liverpool for next year but, again, maybe a loan would be the more sensible route.
