Audio recordings of Van Dijk’s reaction and behaviour towards the referee have now been released, and it doesn’t look good for Van Dijk as he protested strongly against the decision, refusing to leave the pitch as soon as he’d been told to.
Van Dijk clearly wasn’t happy with the decision, but the 32-year-old is an experienced professional who would have been expected to keep his cool in that kind of situation.
The Mirror report that LIverpool will now lose their star defender for one week.
This is not what Liverpool needed after a difficult few months, including a below-par campaign last term and some struggles in the transfer market this summer.

Declan Rice: “My role models? In the Premier League, it’s obviously Rodri. Partey when I arrived at Arsenal he was incredible. Tchouaméni from Real Madrid, he’s also a young guy, very aggressive, he takes the ball, he goes forward, he’s good.”

The problems between Jadon Sancho and Erik ten Hag and his staff date back to last season, when Ten Hag tried to get Sancho to arrive on time by scheduling him at least an hour earlier than the rest of the team.
This tactic had some initial success, however, before long Sancho fell back into his usual ways.

Jude Bellingham chose to snub Manchester United when he made his first career move in 2020, opting to join Borussia Dortmund instead.
The then-teenage sensation had only played at Birmingham for a single season but had the eyes of Europe on him. It became clear he’d leave St Andrew’s and United hoped they could be his destination, inviting Bellingham and his family to the training ground to meet the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Despite being given the grand tour they opted for a switch to Germany, by no means the conventional route. Bellingham’s family though thought that a move to Dortmund would provide their son with a quicker pathway to the top, given how young players were given an opportunity in the Bundesliga.
United legend Bryan Robson, who also featured on his initial tour in Manchester, bemoaned the fact they missed out but has told the Daily Mail: "The maturity and discipline he had to show surviving as a young boy playing and living in Germany gave him invaluable life skills, ones that this summer the family felt had equipped him for a move to a club as huge as Real Madrid.
