Liverpool Manager Faces Ban
Liverpool's Arne Slot awaits the decision on his ban after a heated incident during the Merseyside derby. Slot was sent off along with Liverpool's Curtis Jones and Everton's Abdoulaye Doucouré after a tense altercation at the end of the match.
Slot approached referee Michael Oliver after a scuffle between players erupted, resulting in red cards for Jones and Doucouré. The incident escalated when Doucouré celebrated in front of Liverpool fans, prompting a reaction from Jones. Slot's interaction with the referee led to his own dismissal.
Now, Liverpool must await the Football Association's decision on the extent of Slot's ban. While there is no automatic suspension for a dismissed manager, disciplinary action will be determined based on the referee's report and any charges filed by the FA. Both clubs may also face charges for failing to control their players during the confrontation.
