Suspension Threatens Rodri
Manchester City player Rodri faces the possibility of suspension by the English Football Association after being charged with misconduct due to his controversial comments on the referees' performance in the Premier League.
The charge came after Manchester City's 2-2 draw with Tottenham, where Rodri hinted at bias by the match referee, which the association considered a breach of acceptable media conduct towards referees.
The association has given Rodri until February 18, 2026, to respond or provide his remarks before making a final decision on the penalty.
If the violation is proven, Rodri is likely to face a multi-match suspension that could affect Manchester City's squad in crucial league competitions, especially as the team continues its title race.
