EFL clubs demand probe into Liverpool postponement due to Covid outbreak after Jurgen Klopp admitted only Trent Alexander-Arnold actually had coronavirus and the rest were 'false positives'

The EFL is under pressure to investigate why Liverpool stars who tested positive for Covid before the postponement of their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Arsenal were later found to be negative.

The Athletic claims that several EFL clubs want clarity over exactly when Liverpool found out this information, as if it was before the Arsenal match, there is a chance the fixture could have gone ahead as scheduled.

The clubs have called for the EFL to investigate after a number of requests for postponements this season because of Covid outbreaks were rejected.
