Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has spoken out in defence of Bernardo Silva following an investigation into an allegedly racist tweet posted by the player.
Per BBC Sport, the Football Association has been in touch with City about Silva's social media post, in which he shared a photo of a young Benjamin Mendy and compared his team-mate to a character on a packet of Conguitos, a sweet that is sold in Spain and Portugal.
After City's 3-0 win over Preston North End in the EFL Cup on Tuesday, Guardiola was asked about the post and was full of praise for the 25-year-old, per David McDonnell of the Daily Mirror:
"They should put their focus on another issue, because they don't know which guy you are talking about.
