Jurgen Klopp has been handed a one-match touchline ban after a successful appeal by the Football Association in relation to the red card received by the Liverpool boss against Manchester City last month.
After being given an initial £30,000 fine by an independent regulatory commission for his behaviour in Liverpool's win over Pep Guardiola's side, the FA last week confirmed they were seeking a more severe punishment for the German.
Successful in their efforts, Klopp will now be absent from the touchline during the Reds' Premier League home fixture against Southampton on Saturday afternoon.

The Liverpool boss was dismissed in October by fourth official Andy Madley after confronting assistant referee Gary Beswick for failing to address Bernardo Silva's foul on Mohamed Salah during the latter stages of the narrow victory at Anfield. He has now been warned as to his future conduct on the back of this suspension.
Assistant manager Pep Lijnders is now expected to be the point of contact for the first-team, just as he was at the start of January when Klopp missed the Reds' trip to Chelsea after returning a positive coronarivus test result.
