FA set to investigate confrontation involving Henderson and Gabriel during Liverpool's defeat to Arsenal
Liverpool were beaten by Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday night and on particular confrontation has led to the FA reviewing whether or not to investigate the incident.
Jordan Henderson and Gabriel Magalhaes got into a verbal altercation after which proceedings were halted and referee Michael Oliver went over to the managers to speak to them.
He spoke to them once again after the game and the FA have decided to speak to the officials before making their next move.
“We are aware of an incident that took place during the match between Arsenal and Liverpool,” an FA spokesperson said. “We are in dialogue with the match officials and will review the details of the incident.”
Klopp said after the game that he's not allowed to 'divulge' any of the details about the incident, while Arteta said: “It was an incident that happened. Whatever happens on that pitch stays on that pitch.”
Some Arsenal fans are worried about what was said during the back and forth because of Roberto Firmino's reaction to his captain Henderson.
