The investigation remains ongoing.
Liverpool's FA Cup win over Everton on January 6th was overshadowed by an
incident involving Liverpool's Roberto Firmino and Everton's Mason Holgate.
As Firmino shielded the ball on the touchline, Holgate appeared to push the Brazilian over the advertising boards, into the stands. Firmino reacted, and there was a coming together with words exchanged. Holgate then seemed to take particular offence to something that the Brazilian may have said.
An FA statement on the matter said referee Bobby Madley was "made aware of an allegation" during the game and included it in his match report.
"We will now begin making enquiries into the matter," a spokesman said."While that process is ongoing, we will not be making any further comment." That was over three weeks ago and still there has been no word of an outcome.
It is not clear what the verdict will be, but Liverpool fans are growing increasingly concerned that their team could lose Firmino for a significant number of matches, if he is found guilty of any wrong-doing. This is to do with their lack of cover in forward areas.

The concern is that, having sold Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona and loaned
Daniel Sturridge to West Brom already this window, their attacking options would be drastically thinner than they were at the start of the month.
