Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp handed one-game touchline ban after FA appeal

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been handed a one-game touchline ban after the FA appealed against his punishment for improper conduct against Manchester City.

The 55-year-old gave the official an earful when a perceived foul by Bernardo Silva on Mohamed Salah was not flagged in last month's 1-0 win at Anfield.

Klopp admitted the offence and was hit with a £30,000 fine, but the Independent Regulatory Commission did not deem his actions worthy of a suspension.

However, the FA have since successfully appealed against the punishment, and Klopp will now be banned for Saturday's Premier League clash with Southampton.

"An Independent Appeal Board has allowed The FA's appeal against an Independent Regulatory Commission's sanction in relation to the recent case involving Jurgen Klopp," a statement read.

"As a result, the Liverpool FC manager has been suspended from the touchline for one match, fined £30,000, and warned as to his future conduct.

"Jurgen Klopp had previously admitted that he breached FA Rule E3 during their Premier League match against Manchester City FC on Sunday October 16 2022 and received a sanction of £30,000."

Klopp admitted that he went "over the top" in the wake of the incident and will not return to the touchline for Liverpool until their EFL Cup fourth-round clash with Manchester City on December 20, two days after the World Cup final.
