Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp handed starts to four teenagers in the third-round win over MK DonsLiverpool could face expulsion from the Carabao Cup if they are found to have fielded an ineligible player in the victory against MK Dons on Wednesday. The EFL is investigating possible issues with the international clearance of midfielder Pedro Chirivella, who came on as a substitute in the 2-0 win. "The club are aware of a potential administrative issue pertaining to one of our players," a club statement said. In 2014, Sunderland were fined by the Premier League and the EFL after they fielded an ineligible player in four league matches and a League Cup match. The club admitted they made an administrative error with striker Ji Dong-won but were not deducted points or kicked out of the cup.
