Suspension delayed: Slot will be able to manage Liverpool against Aston Villa

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot received a red card in the recent match against Everton, and it was initially believed that he would be suspended for two games. However, the ban has not yet taken effect. Here’s why.

Details: According to the Evening Standard, Slot has not yet been officially sanctioned but only charged. The Dutchman was given ten days to respond to the charge, with the deadline expiring today, February 19.

As a result, any punishment could not have come into effect before this deadline. As reported by the BBC, the charge is considered "non-standard," meaning Slot does not have the option to accept a set penalty without a hearing. Once he responds, the FA will have three days to reply to the club, after which a hearing will take place within ten days.

Reminder: Slot previously admitted that emotions got the better of him at the moment and that he would handle the situation differently in the future.
