The official who stands accused of elbowing Andy Robertson at half-time of Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Arsenal will not be appointed to any fixtures while an investigation takes place.
Constantine Hatzidakis appeared to aim an elbow in the direction of Reds left-back Robertson as the defender tried to question him after the half-time whistle had sounded at Anfield on Easter Sunday. Mr Hatzidakis was caught on camera as he seemed to strike the head of Robertson as tensions spilled over into the interval after a fiery end to the first period of the game.
Robertson, who was cautioned for accosting the official by match referee Paul Tierney, was visibly furious with the treatment and was eventually moved away from the scene by his team-mates.
