Former England boss Glenn Hoddle is unsure the EFL made the correct decision in postponing the Liverpool vs. Arsenal Carabao Cup semi final first leg on Thursday.

The game was set to go ahead this week, but Liverpool have an outbreak of COVID-19 within the squad.

Given clubs like Liverpool have plenty of quality players in their under-23s, Hoddle believes the game should have gone ahead.

"You can only call a game off if you have so many cases of Covid" he told talkSPORT.

"You have a squad of under-23s that aren't included in that 25-man squad.

"Liverpool played them when they went off to play in the Club World Cup.

"So they have the players available, they've got Under-23s that can play, so tough, throw them in."
