STAN COLLYMORE will learn today if his position at Liverpool is to be further undermined by yet more disciplinary action.

After his investigation has been completed Robinson will discuss the affair with Liverpool's manager Roy Evans, who returns this morning after a scouting mission in Switzerland.
