Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is reportedly at risk of being suspended for the Reds' huge upcoming Premier League clashes against Arsenal and Manchester City, after being accused of diving during the thumping Boxing Day win over Newcastle.
Salah scored from the penalty spot in the 4-0 victory at Anfield. He won the spot kick himself after going down under pressure from Newcastle defender Paul Dummett, yet the Egyptian could fall foul of FA rules if he is deemed to have deliberately deceived the referee.
The FA has the power to retrospectively ban players believed to have successfully conned officials, with Everton's Oumar Niasse and West Ham's Manuel Lanzini both having served the automatic two-game ban since the rules were brought into effect.
