Premier League: Manchester City star Bernardo Silva has been suspended for one match and fined 50,000 pound for a tweet he posted comparing teammate Benjamin Mendy with a black cartoon character.

Bernardo Silva and Benjamin Mendy have been teammates since 2016, having spent a year together at Monaco before they both moved to Manchester City the following year.

Pep Guardiola said that he wanted to work with Benjamin Mendy to get the best out of the player.

A knee injury forced the 24-year-old for out seven months last season but having made just 11 appearances all season he ended the summer with World Cup and Premier League winners medals.
