Rodri, a star for Manchester City, was expelled for grasping Morgan Gibbs-White’s neck in a fit of insanity.

The City midfielder and the Nottingham Forest star got into a heated argument by the corner flag before the two started pushing one other.

 

 

 

 

 

Rodri eventually lost his cool and encircled the Englishman’s neck.

Due to this, referee Anthony Taylor dismissed the Spaniard, and Gibbs-White was also given a warning for his involvement in the altercation.

Rodri will miss at least the following three domestic games due to the violent conduct character of the foul.

Rodri will therefore be unable to play in City’s crucial match against Arsenal in October.

City’s next three games include a League Cup match against Newcastle and a trip to Wolves at the end of September.

Prior to the Arsenal game, there will be a Champions League encounter against RB Leipzig; nevertheless, domestic sanctions have no bearing on European eligibility.

It adds to Pep Guardiola’s growing list of absentees.

City already lacks John Stones, Mateo Kovacic, and Kevin De Bruyne.

Even though Jack Grealish had just recovered from an injury of his own, he entered the game late.

Bernardo Silva got ejected from the game against Crvena Zvezda in the middle of the week.

After having an altercation with Taiwo Awoniyi just minutes after Rodri was dismissed, Ederson threatened to add his name to the list.

At the time of the red card, City was leading 2-0 and was able to finish the game with that score.
