Following a strict ban on New Year’s Day, the Liverpool loanee was spared further punishment after the FA upheld his appeal.Tyler Morton joined Hull City on loan last summer and made 20 appearances for the Championship side in 2023/24. The midfielder managed to return earlier than originally expected after his three-match ban was lifted.
His night was cut short by difficult circumstances, with the score still 0-0 against Sheffield Wednesday on Monday night. Morton’s tackle on Jaydy Gassama earned him a red card from referee Darren Bond with 10 minutes remaining in the first half.The 21-year-old moved strongly, but not imprudently on the wing and was unlucky not to be able to continue the match.
Hull eventually lost 3-1 through Danny Roll.Hull appealed after the incident and tried to lift Morton’s ban following a review by an independent three-member panel. The result means the Wirral-born teenager will be available for Saturday afternoon’s FA Cup third round tie with Birmingham. He was also due to miss Norwich’s league trip and subsequent trip to Sunderland, but is now set to feature in both games. Morton has enjoyed a successful loan spell at the Tigers since his temporary summer move following an injury lay-off last season at Blackburn. The midfielder has made nine appearances for United’s senior side in the first four matches of 2021/22, including playing the full 90 minutes against Milan in the Champions League at the San Siro.
He will be hoping to continue his progress with the Championship side and boost Jurgen Klopp’s plans for 2024/25. Hull have usually deployed the 21-year-old as part of a double 4-2-3-1 rotation this season and, given the lack of defensive midfield options at Anfield, he will be keen to make an impression sustainable from now on. . to. today. The campaign ends.
