Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva has been charged with misconduct by the FA in relation to a social media post on 22 September .
It is alleged that the Manchester City player’s activity breaches FA Rule E3(1) as it was insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute.
Silva tweeted a photo of Benjamin Mendy as a child next to an image of a confectionery brand mascot with the caption: “Guess who?”
He later deleted the post and insisted it had been a “joke” with a friend.
