Klopp hit with two-match ban as Liverpool chase Newcastle in top four hunt - but there's a catch

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been hit with a two-game touchline ban and a £75,000 fine due to comments he made after his side's Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur last month.

Liverpool only have two Premier League games remaining as they try and pip Newcastle United to a top four spot. However, Klopp WILL still be allowed on the touchline for the Reds' final game of the campaign.

The first match of his touchline ban is effective immediately, meaning the German will miss Saturday's home clash with Aston Villa. However, the second game is suspended until the end of the 2023/24 season on the condition Klopp 'does not commit any further breaches of FA Rule E3 in the meantime'. This means he will be back on the touchline for the season finale against Southampton.
