Liverpool Star player has been given a 5-match ban from football after what he did in training ๐จ There’s no way he is getting away with that ๐๐ก This came out of nowhere ๐ฑ
A young player from Liverpool is facing a substantial suspension after admitting to a disciplinary charge arising from a match earlier this year.
During a game between Liverpoolโs under-18 team and Manchester United’s counterparts in January, an incident occurred involving Luca Furnell-Gill. He was observed aiming a punch at Ethan Wheatley and later appearing to throw an elbow during a subsequent altercation.
Although the on-field referee did not take immediate action, the Football Association charged Furnell-Gill with violent conduct.
The 17-year-old has accepted the charge, resulting in a five-match suspension, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.
Despite the unsightly incident, Furnell-Gill expressed genuine remorse afterward. The club addressed the issue internally, and Academy director Alex Inglethorpe apologized to Manchester United the next day.
Fortunately, Wheatley suffered no lasting harm and has since played and scored for Manchester Unitedโs under-18 team.
Furnell-Gill and Liverpool are acknowledging the consequences of the ban, and he sees it as an opportunity for growth as he continues his development in the youth ranks.
