Manchester City’s Rodri will miss three matches after being sent off for grabbing Nottingham Forest ’s Morgan Gibbs-White around the neck.
The Spain star, arguably the best midfielder in the Premier League over the last 18 months, was red carded just 27 seconds after half-time on Saturday following an incident near the corner flag. He will miss matches against Newcastle United, Wolves and Arsenal, his dismissal for violent conduct coming with an automatic three-match ban.
The match official, Anthony Taylor, had initially shown the red card after spotting Rodri place his hands on the neck of Gibbs-White, after a flare up between the two players had seen them go head to head, after the City man initially pushed away Forest's No.10.
As they came face to face once more, Rodri grabbed Gibbs-White, albeit briefly, before the England Under-21 international paused and hit the deck. VAR duly checked, and stayed with the on-field decision.
