This week, the "Liverpool" club, which advanced to the fourth round of the English League Cup, may be removed from the tournament. BBC reports that "Liverpool" may have violated the tournament regulations due to one player who appeared in a match - the Spaniard Pedro Chirivella, who may not have passed all the necessary registration criteria.
The 22-year-old midfielder has been loaned to various clubs in the Netherlands for the past few years, but returned to the club this summer and played his first match of the season on Wednesday.
"Liverpool" has already issued an official statement, stating that they cannot comment further on the situation at the moment: "We are working with certain institutions on the available information. Until the process is completed, we cannot comment further on the incident."
If it is found that P. Chirivella, who appeared in the 63rd minute in the winning match against "MK Dons", did not pass the tournament rules, "Liverpool" may be punished with a monetary fine or removal from the tournament.
The latest reports indicate that "Liverpool" will most likely face a monetary fine.
