Arne Slot urgently replaced Kerkez in the match against Burnley: reason for the decision.

Milos Kerkez's performance in the match against Burnley

According to The Sun: MILOS KERKEZ was substituted in the 37th minute of the game against Burnley due to the risk of getting a red card.

The new player, purchased for 40 million pounds, received a yellow card for simulation at the beginning of the first half.

After that, Kerkez fouled Jayden Anthony when the Clarets threatened with a counterattack.

Arne Slot realized that continuing the game with Kerkez was risky, so he decided to replace him with Andy Robertson.

The Scot immediately influenced the game, creating space in the penalty area before his shot.

Slot spoke with Kerkez on the bench, gesturing with his finger, presumably discussing the situation with the foul on Anthony.

 

Fans believe that Kerkez should have received a red card as the foul he committed deserved a yellow card.

One of them noted: “Kerkez gotta be off surely. That’s a yellow card.”

Another added: “Kerkez kept fouling after his yellow he was begging to get sent off.”

A third commentator wrote: “That Kerkez sub was an admission of guilt over that Antony challenge, I’m crying.”
