The Times reported on January 4 that due to the serious epidemic in Liverpool, coupled with the injury of many players and the departure of Mane, Salah and Keita to prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations, it is doubtful whether Liverpool's semi-final first leg match with Arsenal this week will be played on time.
It is reported that the liverpool first team training on Tuesday local time has been affected, but the AXA training center has not been closed. Liverpool officials have been communicating with the EFL ( English Football League ) , and so far Liverpool have not asked for a postponement of the game, and the EFL has also said that the first leg of the League Cup semi-final will continue as usual.
Liverpool will continue to communicate with the EFL and if the League Cup semi-final with Arsenal is postponed, liverpool's match against Arsenal this weekend is also expected to be affected.
In addition, Klopp, who is positive for covid-19, will certainly not be able to direct the League Cup semi-finals, while Arteta, who also missed last weekend's league, may not be able to conduct for the same reason.
