Why Andy Robertson’s red card won’t see him miss Liverpool’s next Premier League clash”
Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson was shown a straight red card during the Premier League match against Fulham after committing a costly error, resulting in a last-man foul on Harry Wilson.
Despite the dismissal, Robertson will not miss Liverpool’s next Premier League fixture against Spurs. Instead, his suspension will be served in the upcoming League Cup quarter-final against Southampton on Wednesday.
This is due to English football’s suspension rules, which dictate that bans apply to the next domestic fixture in the relevant competition category— in this case, the League Cup.
However, given Robertson’s shaky performance against Fulham, Arne Slot may still consider benching him for the match against Spurs.
