(Reuters) - England's Football Association has launched an investigation into David Coote after the Premier League official was suspended by referees' body the PGMOL for allegedly abusing Liverpool and their former manager Juergen Klopp.

The video, which has not been verified by Reuters, allegedly shows Coote making derogatory comments about the Anfield club and German boss Klopp, who left the Premier League side at the end of last season.
