Glenn Hoddle and Danny Mills have criticised the decision to delay Liverpool's Carabao Cup semi-final clash with Arsenal this week, saying youngsters could have filled in for those suffering with Covid.
Liverpool are struggling with a severe outbreak of Covid in their ranks, with boss Jurgen Klopp and his assistant Pep Lijnders already testing positive - with several more players becoming infected too.
The first leg tie was due to be in London on January 6, but will now be pushed back another two weeks - meaning the Reds will surrender the chance to play in front of their own fans in the second leg.
