  • The comment was reportedly made while the team was preparing for a pre-season squad photograph and was overheard by staff and teammates.
  • The FA completed its investigation and imposed the ban; Borggräfe accepted the sanction and was also ordered to attend an education programme.
  • Liverpool conducted an internal review, fully supported the FA process, and stated it would not comment further on the matter.
