Nick Pope will MISS Carabao Cup final after calamitous red card for handball well outside his box against Liverpool in massive blow to Newcastle... and Loris Karius is set to start for Magpies in Wembley showpiece, with Martin Dubravka cup-tied

Nick Pope was sent off during Newcastle's game against Liverpool on Saturday night and will now miss their EFL Cup final match against Manchester United next Sunday.

Mohamed Salah charged forwards to receive a pass and looked to be through on goal, but in an extraordinary moment of madness, the Newcastle goalkeeper came out of his box diving with his hands to stop the rampaging forward.

Interfering illegally with the play, Pope was immediately sent his marching orders by Anthony Taylor, and will miss their cup final next week, posing another selection headache for Eddie Howe.
