🚨 POTENTIAL MATCH BAN 🚨
Cody Gakpo facing possible two-match suspension after voice analyst submission…
Just in — Cody Gakpo is under serious scrutiny after a voice analyst submitted recorded audio from the match for official examination, raising the possibility of a two-match ban, though no final decision has been taken yet.
Sources close to the situation reveal that the audio contains a Dutch-language comment allegedly aimed at Newcastle defender Dan Burn. Once translated, the remark was reportedly flagged as toxic and inappropriate, prompting the league’s disciplinary panel to open a formal review.
While the incident passed unnoticed during the game, post-match audio checks have now brought it sharply into focus.
> “The audio has been logged and is being assessed,” a source familiar with the process explained. “At this stage, it’s an investigation — not a verdict.”
Liverpool are understood to be monitoring the situation closely, with internal discussions already underway should a suspension be enforced. Gakpo, meanwhile, is said to be aware of the review and is awaiting clarification on the league’s next steps.
Newcastle have so far declined to make any official comment, and there is no indication yet that Dan Burn has lodged a formal complaint.
The case highlights the league’s advanced audio-monitoring system, which continues to reshape how off-the-ball incidents are handled — often after the final whistle has blown.
For now, the emphasis is on one word: potential.
A final ruling is expected in the coming days, with Cody Gakpo’s availability hanging in the balance.
