Men's Football FA slap Bernardo Silva with a one-match fine for tweet aimed at Mendy

MANCHESTER CITY midfielder Bernardo Silva must serve a one-match ban over a tweet he sent about teammate Benjamin Mendy.

The Portuguese posted pictures of Mendy as a child alongside the mascot for Spanish confectionery firm Conguitos on September 22.

He immediately deleted it but was charged by the Football Association, which has now imposed a suspension, a £50,000 fine and ordered him to complete face-to-face education.

He is set to miss the Premier League clash against Chelsea on November 23.
