Liverpool handed disciplinary boost for potential Champions League final

Virgil van Dijk is not at risk of missing a potential Champions League final next month, unless he is given his marching orders in next week's second leg against Villarreal.

Liverpool take a healthy 2-0 lead into Tuesday night's game at El Madrigal and are one game away from reaching their third European Cup final in four years under Jurgen Klopp. Defender Van Dijk was booked against Villarreal just after the half hour mark for a challenge on Samuel Chukwueze.

In the Champions League, any player who receives three bookings in the early stages of the competition is suspended for the next match. However, yellow card accumulation is scrapped after the quarter-final stage and doesn't carry over into the semi-finals.
