How Jurgen Klopp could miss Liverpool's next few Premier League fixtures following red card

Jurgen Klopp was shown a red card during Liverpool's 1-0 win over Man City in the Premier League on Sunday. But how many matches will he miss - and is there a possibility of a longer ban?

The German boss was given his marching orders by referee Anthony Taylor following his reaction to a perceived foul by Bernardo Silva on Mohamed Salah.

The foul wasn't given - leaving Klopp and his coaching staff incensed.

Much like most of the Anfield crowd, Klopp aired his fury towards the officials, with assistant referee Gary Beswick in his line of sight. Fourth official Andy Madley then alerted Taylor to the reaction, with the referee promptly showing the Liverpool boss a red card.

Apologising for his actions after the game, Klopp told Sky Sports: "It is about emotion, of course. So red card, my fault. I went over the top in the moment. I don't think I was disrespectful to anybody, but if you look at the pictures, I know myself, I am 55, and the way I look at the moment is already worth a red card.

"I lost it in that moment and that's not okay, but a little bit as an excuse, I would like to mention how can you not whistle that foul (on Salah)? How on Earth is that possible?"

After his red card, how many games is Klopp certain to miss?

How many games is Jurgen Klopp suspended for?

Klopp will now likely receive the standard one-match ban for his actions by the Premier League. This is if he is found to be in breach of FA Rule E3.

The rule reads: "A participant shall at all times act in the best interests of the game and shall not act in any manner which is improper or brings the game into disrepute or use any one, or a combination of, violent conduct, serious foul play, threatening, abusive, indecent or insulting words or behaviour."

He would, therefore, be absent from the touchline for Wednesday's league clash against West Ham at Anfield, before then returning to his usual managerial duties.

Liverpool take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday, with Klopp to be back to take charge for that game if he is given a one-match ban.

Could Jurgen Klopp receive a longer ban?

Jurgen Klopp could receive a longer ban for his actions on Sunday - but only if it is deemed that he used violent conduct. If that was the case, the German's suspension could be extended to either three or four games, depending on the severity of any violent conduct action.

However, replays show that Klopp made no contact with any match official, so it is extremely unlikely he will miss more than one Liverpool game.
