Manchester City player Bernardo Silva has been given a one-match ban for his controversial tweet to teammate Benjamin Mendy.

The ban means Silva will not be available for his club clash against Chelsea on November 23.

In the tweet, Silva compared Mendy with the mascot of Spanish confectionery brand Conguitos.

The tweet was condemned by Kick It Out, anti-discrimination groups. Silva deleted the tweet but The FA have found it offensive and have  charged the player for 'aggravated misconduct'.

The real punishment should have been 6 match ban but mitigating circumstances ensured that it is just one match ban.

Silva's swift reaction to delete the tweet and his naivety were considered and this reduced his suspension to a match ban.

According to the statement released by The FA, Silva is also fined £50,000 and must complete face-to-face education for breach FA Rule E3.
