Jurgen Klopp could dramatically miss his Anfield farewell if one thing happens during Liverpool's trip to Aston Villa.

The German is set to depart the Reds at the end of the season after nine incredible years at the Merseyside club.

Klopp announced back in January that he would be quitting the Premier League club in an announcement that caught the Liverpool fanbase by surprise.

The 56-year-old was in a pole position to lead the Reds to a historic treble in his last season but that won't be the case after the club hit a rough patch in recent weeks.

While they are still mathematically in the race for the Premier League title, they are unlikely to catch Arsenal and Manchester City, who are the two favourites to lift the crown.

Be that as it may, Klopp will be keen to end his Liverpool reign on a high in the two remaining matches.

Klopp at risk of missing Anfield farewell

However, SPORTbible reports that the German would need to manage his emotions on his side's next outing - or risk missing the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on May 19.

According to the publication, if Klopp gets booked against Aston Villa next Monday, he will have to watch his side's final match of the season from the stands.

The former Borussia Dortmund tactician risks a touchline ban, having already picked up yellow cards this season.

Goal reports that the legendary boss picked up his first yellow against Luton Town before getting a second booking of the season against relegation-bound Burnley.

Klopp makes statement on Salah row

Sports Brief also recently reported on Klopp's statement on the Mohamed Salah incident after the pair made headlines for the wrong reasons on April 27.

TV cameras caught them arguing during the Premier League game against West Ham United, with the manager said to be angry with the Egyptian veteran's attitude.
