Liverpool goalkeeper Rafaela Borggrafe has been suspended for six matches following an FA investigation into a racist comment made towards a teammate. Coach Gareth Taylor confirmed the player has already served five games of the ban and will be available for selection after the Women's Super League match against Tottenham Hotspur.

Liverpool's goalkeeper Rafaela Borggrafe received a six-match suspension from the FA for making a racist comment, as confirmed by her coach, Gareth Taylor, on Friday. The player has already served most of her ban.

The investigation, initiated last month, centered on Borggrafe's alleged discriminatory language against an unnamed teammate. Taylor stated this development ahead of Liverpool's Women's Super League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.

Taylor expressed relief at the closure of the investigation, highlighting Borggrafe's availability post this weekend's game. Since joining Liverpool in July, Borggrafe has appeared thrice for the struggling club.
