Liverpool lost 2-1 to Tottenham Hotspur with nine players on the field at the end of the game.
Due to his collision with Yves Bissouma in the first half, Curtis Jones received a straight red card.
Diogo Jota, who entered the game as a substitute at the break, was also ejected for receiving two yellow cards.After receiving two red cards on Saturday during their 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota, Liverpool increased their total to four in just seven Premier League games.In north London, the Reds were reduced to nine men as a late Joel Matip own goal cost Jurgen Klopp’s team a point. Cody Gakpo’s late first-half goal tied the game after Son Heung-min had given Tottenham the lead. Luis Diaz also had a goal incorrectly disallowed for offside.
Due to Jones and Jota’s dismissals, Liverpool will now be without them. Klopp believed that both of their decisions were severe and worked against his team. Their absences could cost the Reds, especially with goal scorer Gakpo dealing with a possibly serious injury.
What Liverpool games will Jones and Jota miss as a result?Despite the fact that it looked the full-back tripped himself, Jota was shown two yellow cards in the second half: one for a trip on Destiny Udogie and the other for a late tackle on a Spurs defender.
Jota will therefore just miss one game after receiving two cautions. On Sunday, October 8, the Reds’ upcoming Premier League game against Brighton & Hove Albion will include that.
However, because Jota’s suspension is a local one, he will be available for the Belgian team’s visit.But Jones’ suspension will probably last a while longer. The midfielder will face a three-match suspension because he was given a straight red card for “serious foul play,” assuming Liverpool don’t appeal the ruling.
Next Sunday’s trip to the Amex, the Merseyside derby against Everton, and the visit from Nottingham Forest in the Premier League following the break will all be missed by Jones.
Fortunately for Klopp, nearly the entire first-team roster is currently accessible. Only Thiago and young Conor Bradley are presently out injured, however Gakpo might follow them there. Trent Alexander-Arnold returned to duty from the bench against Tottenham.
