Jamie Carragher has admitted that he's "gutted" Nick Pope will be suspended for Newcastle's Carabao Cup final against Manchester United.
In the first half of the Magpies' 2-0 defeat to Liverpool, Pope dived on top of a through ball from Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson before it could reach Mohamed Salah and then handled the ball outside of the area. The England international was sent off and replaced by former United loanee Martin Dubravka.
Newcastle are subsequently without three senior goalkeepers for their next match, which happens to be the cup final against Erik ten Hag's side at Wembley. With Pope suspended, Dubravka cup-tied and Karl Darlow loaned out in the Championship at Hull City, either former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius or Mark Gillespie will start in the capital.
