Team News
Bad news came from the Manchester United camp. Marcus Rashford hinted at a potential injury and could miss the final after being forced out of their game against Barcelona. This situation was exacerbated by the absence of several other players such as Christian Eriksen, Donny van de Beek and Anthony Martial who were injured.
Rashford’s absence will certainly affect the team. This winger and striker who possesses speed and technical skills is the club’s top scorer in both the premier league (14 goals) and Carabo Cup this season (5 goals).
On the other hand, Loris Karius, has the potential to take part in the EFL Cup final this season. The goalkeeper who recently joined Newcastle United will replace Nick Pope who was suspended for receiving a red card against Liverpool.
Joelinton’s fitness problems are also a major topic of conversation for Newcastle. The team hopes that the player who has contributed 2 goals in the EFL Cup will recover in time to be available to play in the final.
