Liverpool's never-ending injury nightmare! Wataru Endo adds to Reds endless absentee list as he leaves Carabao Cup final on crutches

If Liverpool fans were fuming at Moises Caicedo after his tackle forced Ryan Gravenberch off on a stretcher, then news that Endo suffered an ankle injury from a Caicedo challenge will set blood boiling once again. According to The Guardian, the Japanese has become yet another name on the injury list at Anfield, leaving the stadium on crutches and in a cast.

Liverpool were already without Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee),Alisson (thigh), Diogo Jota (knee), Darwin Nunez (knock) and Mohamed Salah (thigh) before the final. Further injuries to Gravenberch and Endo stretches the already shallow squad further. Although, if Klopp can rely on his young players then they may not be in too much trouble.

By winning today's Carabao Cup, Liverpool extended their record of League Cup triumphs to 10. The win puts them two clear of next highest challenger, Manchester City, with eight.

Liverpool and Endo will be sweating of results of a scan on the midfielder's ankle and will be praying that any absence in minimal. With the Reds vying on three further competition fronts, they will need every player available possible.
