Howe admits squad selection for EFL Cup final against Liverpool is a tough decision

On March 16, the first trophy in English football this season will be decided as Newcastle and Liverpool compete for the EFL Cup. The Magpies' head coach Eddie Howe acknowledges the significance of this match.

Details: The Newcastle manager stated that selecting the squad for such games is a tough decision because everyone wants to play. However, he cannot give everyone a place in the starting lineup, and some will have to miss out.

Quote: “Everyone will find out at the same time when I announce the team lineup. When will that be? I'll keep that to myself, not you guys! Choosing the team for such matches is always difficult because players will naturally be disappointed. Everyone wants to play in big games. I can only select 11 players.

Honestly, whenever I consider team selection for any game, decisions have to be made. It will be the same in this game because you always look at the opponent and your own strengths and try to understand which players should face certain opponents," Howe said.

Reminder: Previously, Liverpool's head coach Arne Slot spoke about the football talents of Newcastle leader Alexander Isak.
