Liverpool and Arsenal (0-0) will face off in the first leg of the semi-finals in the English League Cup on Thursday evening.
The game ends early for Granit Xhaka after an emergency brake.
The national captain had just returned from a corona disease.
After 24 minutes, the semi-final first leg in the League Cup between Liverpool and Arsenal is already over for Granit Xhaka. The Nati captain flies off the pitch with red after an emergency brake against Jota. It is already the second dismissal for Xhaka this season, who only returned to the Arsenal squad for this game after his corona disease.
After all, his decimated teammates showed a flawless fighting performance on Anfield Road and saved the 0-0 lead over time. In a week’s time, the return leg for entry into the League Cup final will take place at the Emirates.
Bitter for Arsenal: Granit Xhaka is absent from his club in the north London derby against Tottenham at the weekend. That’s because in England it’s not the yellow cards that are taken into the Premier League, but the red cards are. Arsneal are already missing two central midfielders in Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny, both of whom are currently at the Africa Cup of Nations.
