LORIS KARIUS will be supported at Wembley tomorrow by his beautiful girlfriend Diletta Leotta - and she looks set to be providing commentary too.
The former Liverpool keeper, who joined on a free from the Reds last summer, looks set to start in goal against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup final after Nick Pope’s red card against Liverpool.
He is Newcastle’s No3 keeper but No2 Martin Dubravka misses the final as he is Cup tied, having played on loan at Man Utd this season.
Karius, 29, suffered a nightmare in the 2018 Champions League final against Real Madrid and has not played a competitive game for two years.
But an urgent phone call from boss Eddie Howe last Saturday night appears to have handed him a stunning opportunity to become an instant hero to Newcastle supporters.

Football presenter Diletta, 31, began dating the goalie last year and the pair spent New Year’s Eve together before enjoying a weekend in Milan days before the big Wembley date.
The gorgeous Italian is due to be in attendance to see whether Karius can help the Magpies claim their first piece of silverware since 1969.
However, it now seems that she will only be there to cheer on her man from the stands.
Diletta, who boasts over 8m followers on Instagram, has now hinted that she will be working at the game after uploading a post that hinted she was coming to London for duty with streaming service DAZN, the station she works for.
She posted a snap of her alongside her DAZN colleagues and captioned it with: “Missione Wembley: Work In Progress.”
The stunning blonde studied Law at the Luiss University in Rome and graduated in 2015.
Diletta previously presented Sky Sports' coverage of Serie B in Italy but has since moved to broadcaster DAZN and now presents Serie A fixtures.
She previously dated Italian boxer Daniele Scardina, but she called time on their relationship.
