Bernardo Silva charged with misconduct by FA

[Ric]

Manchester City's Bernardo Silva has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association over a tweet he sent to team-mate Benjamin Mendy.

Silva compared Mendy to the character on a packet of Conguitos - a sweet brand available in Spain and Portugal.

He is alleged to have committed an "aggravated breach" of FA rules because it included reference "to race and/or colour and/or ethnic origin".

Portugal playmaker Silva has until Wednesday, 9 October to respond.

Was always going to happen and they can now ensure he is banned for the Liverpool game which is all they care about.

Luckily we have Mahrez who is on fire, BS looks like this controversy is weighing on his shoulders, plenty of rest for him, will stand us in good stead for mid November and onwards.

Liverpool away is the 6th domestic game from now. Odds on it'll be a 6 game ban for him.
