Coutinho Liverpool star out for at least five weeks

As a performance for a team that’s very young and very inexperienced, these kind of nights can set a marker for yourself.

He has played for Wales at under-16, under-17 and under-19 level and although still eligible to play for England, Woodburn has said he wants to “replicate” the feats of Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey.

Woodburn will do very well if he can have half the Liverpool career that Owen enjoyed after his debut goal against Wimbledon back in May 1997.

“We know what Ben is capable of”, he said in his post-match press conference. “My job is to make sure that all of these boys can be the best and to keep the public away for as long as possible”.

“I am really happy for him”.

“We had chances, I’m gutted for the team in the dressing room, because the team was superb tonight”.

“When you are in the rhythm it is different but we are not in this rhythm”.

Klopp has now won seven of his nine League Cup games with Liverpool, who hope to lift the trophy for the ninth time after losing to Manchester City in the final last term.

He shared the backpage headlines with the air crash tragedy in Colombia that all but wiped out the Brazilian team Chapecoense.

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho will not feature in this calendar year after revealing the playmaker is out until January with ankle ligament damage.

It was Liverpool’s turn to hit the upright when Wijnaldum burst into the area with 18 minutes remaining, steering a shot across Silvestri and against the base of the post before United managed to scramble the loose ball to safety.

Woodburn’s strike came after Divock Origi scored the opening goal for Liverpool following a cross from 18-year-old Trent Alexander-Arnold. “Maybe a few young lads now take the chance because of injuries of other players”.

“It was only after the game that I remembered it’s now really hard to keep him back again, not for Ben or for me, but for the public”.

Liverpool will be joined in the semi-finals by Hull who defeated Newcastle on penalties after they finished 1-1 after extra-time.
