Arne Slot may still be on the sidelines for Liverpool's Premier League game against Wolves this weekend, despite receiving a two-match touchline ban for his red card in the heated Merseyside derby.
Liverpool were poised to increase their lead at the top of the Premier League to nine points at Everton on Wednesday, but James Tarkowski equalized with a breathtaking volley in the eighth minute of injury time.
Abdoulaye Doucoure's exuberant celebrations in front of the visiting supporters provoked a fierce backlash, with Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones confronting Doucoure, resulting in the ejection of both players.
With a few supporters on the field, security personnel and police became involved before Slot and assistant Sipke Hulshoff were also dismissed by referee Michael Oliver.
The Premier League announced on its website on Thursday that Slot has been penalized.
"Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was dismissed at the end of the Merseyside derby for using unacceptable, derogatory, or derogatory language," it stated.
He has been suspended for two matches.
The statement was later removed.
It is understood that the Football Association will need to examine Oliver's report before deciding any potential action, and a decision may not be made before Sunday's match at Anfield.
Slot received a one-match suspension from the touchline earlier this season after accumulating three yellow cards.
Doucoure and Jones will both receive one-match suspensions.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk expressed a desire to move forward from the disappointment of giving up a late equaliser at Goodison Park.
"That needed to hurt and should hurt each of us, but it is the reality," said the Dutch international.
You have two options - you can dwell on it and remain upset about it, or you can take it on board, begin the process of recovery, and be prepared for the upcoming challenge against Wolves, which I believe will be a tough test. I think that's the best course of action.
Wednesday's draw in the final derby at Goodison, ahead of Everton's move to a new stadium, left Liverpool seven points clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League with 14 games remaining.
