Premier League backtrack and DELETE claim about Arne Slot's red card length after Merseyside derby

Liverpool manager Arne Slot could be on the touchline for Sunday’s clash with Wolves despite being shown a red card against Everton – but he has not escaped an FA rap and is likely to be banned for a future game instead.

The Premier League website wrote that the Dutchman had been handed a two-match suspension from the dugout due to his actions after the ill-tempered Merseyside Derby on Wednesday that saw him shown a red card by referee Michael Oliver.

A red card for staff members does not constitute an automatic touchline ban, according to Football Association rules.
