Bernardo Silva is under investigation by the FA for an allegedly racist tweet aimed at friend and Manchester City teammate Benjamin Mendy, while equality campaigners Kick It Out released a statement calling for 'retrospective action' and 'mandatory education' to ensure similar incidents don't happen again.
The player shared an image on Twitter on Sunday comparing a photo of Mendy as a child to the mascot of controversial Spanish chocolate brand Conguitos.
While Mendy himself appeared to take the since-deleted tweet as a joke, many have found the image to be racially insensitive.
That's a stance echoed by anti-racism campaigners Kick It Out, who issued a statement on Monday outlining their 'extreme disappointment' at the incident.
