Virgil van Dijk has been charged by the English FA for improper conduct after he was red carded during a match against Newcastle united.
Reports claim his match suspension could further be extended.
The Football Association (FA) is being advised to impose a four-match suspension on Liverpool captain due to his “unacceptable conduct” subsequent to his red card against Newcastle. During the St James’ Park match, Referee John Brooks ejected Van Dijk in the first half for a foul on Alexander Isak.
As he exited the field, the Dutch captain directed a vehement verbal tirade at both Brooks and fourth official Craig Pawson.

Mark Halsey, a former Premier League official, has gone so far as to suggest that Van Dijk’s ban should be extended, citing the potential for an extra three-match suspension owing to the disrespectful and offensive language used, possibly warranting a second red card.
