Overview
- The FA has charged Rodri under Rule 3.1 for post-match comments alleged to imply bias or question officials’ integrity.
- The midfielder has been given a deadline of Wednesday, 18 February to submit his response to the charge.
- Pep Guardiola said Manchester City will accept whatever decision the FA makes and will not challenge the outcome.
- Rodri’s remarks followed a 2-2 draw at Tottenham, after Dominic Solanke’s VAR-checked goal against Marc Guehi, with the player saying the referee “has to be neutral.”
- If found in breach, Rodri could face a ban, and some reports suggest a fine is also possible.
