After Liverpool defeated Bournemouth 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium in the Carabao Cup fourth round, with Uruguay’s Darwin Nunez scoring the game’s winning goal, it appeared that everything was well. However, the Reds got some very bad news because of the storm Ciaran.
Journalist Paul Gorst reports that the team’s planned return flight to Merseyside was cancelled due to the storm’s impact on the nation’s weather. As a result, their return home and, more importantly, to training will be delayed, which may have an impact on the schedule for their Premier League match on Sunday when they visit Luton Town.
Meanwhile, writer James Pearce replied to the claims made by German coach Jurgen Klopp who revealed that they will not return home by plane and will have to do it by road so the trip will be too long and tiring for the players even risking a muscle injury. The crew is not accustomed to travelling in this manner, therefore this is a strange circumstance.
Liverpool are the favourites
Following their triumph, Liverpool emerged as the clear favourites to win the league cup, having eliminated all six of the top teams—Chelsea being the only one who is having a terrible season in contrast to the Reds, who continue to be among the best in England. The opponents of the Reds in the upcoming round will be revealed soon.
