Jones was fouled on Spurs’ Yves Bissouma in the 26th minute but was sent off after VAR intervened and increased the penalty. The Reds appealed the decision in the 2-1 defeat in north London, but the midfielder will now miss their next three Premier League games, the club announced.
The 22-year-old has played the best football of his career this season, with the Liverpool academy product starting five games in all competitions so far. But he will now miss their games against Brighton, Everton and Nottingham Forest this month. In addition, Liverpool say striker Diogo Jota, who is serving a two-match suspension at Spurs, has been banned for one match. This forces him to withdraw from Sunday’s trip to Brighton at the Amex.
Jones could play in Thursday’s match against Union Saint-Gilloise and Toulouse on October 26. He will be available again against Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup on November 1 and against Luton Town in the Premier League four days later.
