Liverpool were given audio recordings of the offside goal fiasco after the defeat to Tottenham, but not other potentially relevant conversations during the game.
Howard Webb provided the club with audio recordings on Tuesday moments after Luis Diaz's goal was wrongly disallowed at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
However, it remains to be seen whether this will fulfill Liverpool's demand for «full transparency» in relation to the incident, which sparked the worst video assistant referee crisis in the history of English football.
Telegraph Sport was told that the footage will also be made public within a few days as Webb, head of Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), tries to draw a line under the debacle.
But failing to post audio of the entire game could leave further questions unanswered, including exactly when referee Simon Hooper was informed of the error or whether anything else of concern happened during the match.
Wars behind this fiasco will not play any role in the Premier League games this weekend.
Darren England and Dan Cook will remain in exile amid an ongoing investigation into the «serious human error» which prevented them from correcting their decision to disallow Luis Diaz's goal in the Anfield club's 2-1 defeat to Tottenham last Saturday .

And England and Cook were not present on Tuesday as the Premier League released its list of officials for gameweek eight this Saturday and Sunday.
Simon Hooper, the Tottenham-Liverpool referee and the fourth official for the subsequent game against Fulham, has been appointed VAR for Everton's clash with Bournemouth on Saturday.
When it comes to the public release of match audio » Spurs — Liverpool, the discussion usually takes place during the television program dedicated to the broadcast. conversations between match officials entitled «Match Officials Unmute».
The next episode of the show is scheduled for early next week, but PGMOL has not ruled out releasing the recording in question sooner after following an official request from Liverpool on Monday.
That will depend on whether the review into the offside goal fiasco is completed first and its findings shared with Liverpool, which has demanded «full transparency.»

In a statement released on Sunday evening, Liverpool also said it would “examine the range of options available given the clear need to escalate and resolve the situation.”
