Liverpool are reportedly being investigated by the
EFL for fielding an illegible player against MK Dons
as the Reds won 2-0.
According to The Athletic , there are concerns that
one of the players may not have met the
requirements to feature in the competition.
That would mean that the mouth-watering tie
between the Reds and Arsenal may be under threat
of becoming MK Dons versus the Gunners.
According to a Liverpool insider, he said
“Certainly, if we’ve broken the rules we should be
punished, but it does seem a little ridiculous that
we’ve possibly made this oversight.
The player in question hasn’t been named, and
speculation would only serve to frustrate, but this
simple error could see Liverpool thrown out of the
Carabao Cup.
Last season, further down the footballing pyramid,
Litherland REMYCA FC were thrown out of a cup
competition for fielding an illegible player.
If the Reds are found guilty of the offence, and don’t
get thrown out of the League Cup then there is
bound to be some criticism from the non-league
community.
Let’s just hope that the player in question was
completely fine to feature in the competition, and
this mess can just get swept under the rug.
