On Thursday, the English Football Association announced that Liverpool head coach Jorgen Klopp will be suspended for one match with two rounds before the end of the national championship.
Klopp was penalized with a two-match ban, but the second-match ban was suspended until the end of next season, provided he committed no other infractions during that period.

The German coach will miss Aston Villa’s game next Sunday at Anfield in matchday 37 of the English Premier League.
