• Portugal midfielder set to miss Chelsea match on 23 November
Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva has been suspended for one match, fined £50,000 and ordered to complete face-to-face education after a tweet he sent to teammate Benjamin Mendy was deemed to have constituted an “aggravated breach” of the Football Association’s rules on social media behaviour because it appeared to reference the French left-back’s race.
The Portugal midfielder posted pictures of Mendy as a child alongside the mascot for Spanish confectionery firm Conguitos on 22 September. He immediately deleted it but was charged by the FA last month.
