The Liverpool squad faced a number of injuries, which led to several young players being included in the recent match. Jayden Danns, Conor Bradley, Jarell Quansah, James McConnell, and Bobby Clark all played, and Lewis Koumas and Trey Nyoni were unused substitutes. Dominik Szoboszlai missed the match due to injury but still received a winners’ medal as part of the squad.
He had scored twice in earlier rounds of the Carabao Cup. Jurgen Klopp had previously established a rule in 2016 prohibiting young players from participating in matches. Although Szoboszlai missed the game due to injury, he still received a winners’ medal.
In an interview with Hungarian TV, he expressed frustration with the caution of the medical department and his dislike for not being able to play. Despite these challenges, Szoboszlai expressed his deep appreciation for the team’s victory and the exceptional performance of the younger players. He mentioned that it was a unique and special moment and that the win was the most memorable of his more than 20-year career.
