Why Jurgen Klopp isn't on the touchline for Liverpool vs Southampton

Jurgen Klopp will be forced to watch his Liverpool side play Southampton from the stands on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds are looking for a second consecutive Premier League victory after picking up a first away win of the season at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, before the domestic campaign is temporarily brought to a halt for the winter World Cup.

But they will have to do it without their chief commander after Klopp was retrospectively slapped with a one-match touchline ban. The punishment relates to an incident during Liverpool's 1-0 victory against Manchester City at Anfield last month, when Klopp was shown a red card for getting in the face of the referee's assistant and berating him for failing to award a clear foul on Mohamed Salah.
