Arsenal Get Boost as EFL Blocks Marc Guehi From Carabao Cup Fina

Marc Guéhi
January 2026

The EFL rejected City’s push to change eligibility rules, meaning Guéhi remains ineligible for the Carabao Cup final despite joining City in January. EFL rules prevent a player from featuring for a second club in the competition if they join after the semi-final first leg. Guéhi signed after City’s first-leg win over Newcastle, so he could not play the second leg and cannot play the final. Semenyo remains eligible because he joined before the semi-final first leg.
