Liverpool injury blow as Andoni Iraola confirms latest team news before Chelsea clash

Szoboszlai and Muñoz doubtful for Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie at Anfield; Wirtz expected to be available.

Liverpool face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup last 16 on Wednesday with several injury concerns. Dominik Szoboszlai, who reaggravated a hamstring injury during the Brentford match earlier this month, is doubtful. Victor Muñoz, sidelined with a knee injury, is also uncertain. Florian Wirtz picked up a knock in last weekend's Brighton win but is optimistic about featuring.

Manager Andoni Iraola told reporters at his pre-match press conference: "With Dom and Victor, I'm not so sure. I don't want to say no, but I think it's more difficult than Florian." Chelsea will also be without Joao Pedro and Reece James for the trip to Anfield.
