West Ham United manager Lopetegui sustains calf injury amid Carabao Cup defeat by Liverpool.

West Ham United manager Julen Lopetegui injured his calf in frustration during a 5-1 Carabao Cup defeat to Liverpool. Despite an early lead, West Ham collapsed in the final 16 minutes after Edson Alvarez was sent off. Lopetegui felt his team performed better than the scoreline suggested and criticized the referee for denying two penalty appeals. Liverpool's Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo each scored twice, earning praise from their coach, Arne Slot.
