Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association over a Twitter post concerning team mate Benjamin Mendy last month.
Portugal's Bernardo came under fire from anti-racism body Kick It Out after posting a message on Sept. 22 comparing Mendy to a character used in the logo for Conguitos, a confectionary brand popular in Spain and Portugal, before deleting it.
City manager Pep Guardiola had said last month that it would be a mistake for the FA to punish Bernardo over the tweet while his teammate Raheem Sterling also backed him.
