“I was watching some of the footage”: Journalist says Arne Slot is at risk of missing Man City game

Speaking on the Sky Sports Back Pages Podcast, Miguel Delaney reports what he’s hearing about Slot’s suspension.

“I mean, from all the noises so far, it does feel like a two-game ban is inevitable. The one thing is a potential review could go on for some time. And that’s going to be all the more interesting because it’s Johnny’s reference there just to see what was actually said because that is what will come out in these sort of reviews,” Delaney said.

“I mean, it’s interesting with Slot because he’s one of the stories of Liverpool’s season has actually been out. No matter the controversy, no matter the kind of energy or something, he’s very good at kind of taking the sting out of it, keeping composed and then ensuring the team gets on with its business. Obviously, in this case, they lost the last of an equaliser and it was a rare moment where Slot, not quite letting his guard down, but I suppose he got involved.

“Now, I was watching some of the footage, which makes it all the more conspicuous because I was trying to see what was said, what he did. And it’s interesting that he doesn’t seem to say much before Oliver pulls out the card to the shock of Virgil van Dijk.”

“I mean, look, it could come out tomorrow, I think, which would mean if he’s found guilty, he potentially misses the Wolves game. But I think the likelihood is right now that at least rumbles into next week. And he potentially will say he’s not on the bench for the City game.”
