Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has expressed his delight at getting another chance to play at Wembley after he missed the club’s last appearance there through injury.
The Brazilian was forced to watch on from the sidelines for all three of Liverpool’s Wembley trips during the 2011/12 season, as they reached the finals of both the FA and League Cups.
“Unfortunately I got an injury before we got to Wembley so I missed (the chance to play there),” he told the Liverpool Echo.
“Hopefully I’ll be fit and be able to play at Wembley. I’ve never played there so it will be a very good experience and after many years here to have that chance is amazing.
“I think everyone could see how hard we worked. We knew it was going to be a very hard game in difficult conditions, but I think we did well and we are so happy to get to Wembley and hopefully get to the final.”
