FA Cup Semi-final: Liverpool missing five key players

Liverpool takes on Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final today in the hopes of completing a quadruple.

Unfortunately, due to various FA and UEFA rules, the Reds will be without five players from their lineup.

The Reds are still one point behind their title rivals after last week’s Premier League tie with Manchester City. Both sides link up once more, this time aiming for a quadruple and a treble, respectively.

The depth of the squad will be put to the test in the coming months, and it will be critical for both managers to retain as many players as fit as possible for the duration.

Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker have both been ruled out of the FA Cup semi-finals, according to Pep Guardiola.

Both teams will be limited to seven substitutes instead of the twelve allowed in the Champions League due to a separate rule between the FA and UEFA.

Jurgen Klopp’s first major decision in the game will be which players he believes he can rely on in an emergency.

Due to the five fewer substitutes, players like Harvey Elliot and Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain may not be able to play at Wembley.
