Your final news summary of the week includes a blow for Wolves and a Reds defender who could soon sign a new contract.
Virgil van Dijk’s suspension for the red card he received in the 2-1 victory away at Newcastle has been extended, as we predicted.
The defender, who missed last weekend’s 3-1 victory against Bournemouth after getting sent off for a tackle on attacker Alexander Isak, reacted violently and was given an additional one-game suspension.
Van Dijk will not be able to play for the Reds until West Ham’s visit on September 24 after he was overheard calling the decision a “f***ing joke” as he departed the field of play at St. James’ Park.
Due to Trent Alexander-Arnold’s withdrawal from England duty due to a hamstring injury, the Reds may be without their captain and vice-captain for the match against Wolves.
