Slot ban confirmed

Liverpool boss Arne Slot will be forced to watch today's game against Newcastle from the stands after being handed a two-game touchline ban by the FA.

The suspension comes after Slot was charged for his sending-off at the end of the Merseyside derby against Everton earlier this month.

The Liverpool boss was shown a red card after confronting referee Michael Oliver on the pitch, having watched his side concede a late equalizer in the 2-2 draw.

Slot has now been handed a two-match suspension, which begins with today's game against Newcastle and will also see him away from the touchline for the visit of Southampton on March 8.

The Liverpool boss has also received a fine of £70,000 ($88,500).

Assistant Sipke Hulshoff has also been banned for two games and fined £7,000 ($8,850), while Everton and Liverpool have been fined £65,000 ($82,000) and £50,000 ($63,000) respectively for failing to control their players.
