Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk handed another one-match ban and fined £100,000.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has been handed a further one-match suspension and fined £100,000 after admitting he acted inappropriately following his red card at Newcastle.

The Netherlands international was sent off for a foul on Alexander Isak during the first half of Liverpool's 2-1 win at St James' Park on August 27, but initially refused to leave the pitch – then remonstrated with referee John Brooks.

An automatic one-match suspension saw the centre-back suspended for the 3-0 win over Aston Villa before the international break, but he will now also serve a further suspension and therefore miss the trip to Wolves on September 16. < /p>

A statement from the FA read: "Virgil van Dijk has been suspended for one match and fined £100,000 for breaching FA Rule E3.1 during Liverpool's Premier League game against Newcastle on Sunday August 27.

"The defender admitted acting inappropriately and using abusive and insulting language towards a match official after he was sent off in the 29th minute, and the penalties were subsequently imposed by an independent regulatory committee."
