Liverpool teenager Luca Furnell-Gill is serving a ban after being charged by the FA for violent conduct when playing for under-18s
Liverpool youngster Luca Furnell-Gill is serving a lengthy suspension after admitting a disciplinary charge following the controversial clash with Manchester United earlier this year.
Furnell-Gill was banned for five games by the Football Association after accepting the claim of violent conduct during the Under-18 Premier League North match at United’s Carrington training base on January 30.
The 17-year-old defender was caught on camera involved in an ongoing spat with Manchester United forward Ethan Wheatley during the second half of the game, which Liverpool lost 4-3.
The Liverpool youngster was seen turning to aim a punch towards Wheatley as he chased opposing player Ethan Williams in the build-up to United’s second goal, and later clashed with the same player and aimed an elbow during the altercation. Both players were spoken to by the referee but ultimately went unpunished.
