The match official has been suspended since 11th November while video allegedly showing him making derogatory comments about Liverpool and the club's former manager Jürgen Klopp was investigated.

A further video showing alleged drug use by the referee also surfaced just afterwards.

The 42-year-old has been overseeing Premier League matches since 2018.
