Fernandinho received a strict penalty for a red card

Today it was revealed that the English Football Association rejected Manchester City's appeal regarding the suspension of Fernandinho.

The Brazilian was sent off the field during the match against Burnley, which City later won 2-1. However, the dangerous play of the 31-year-old midfielder caused problems for the team as he will now miss the next four upcoming matches.

This was already the second red card for Fernandinho this winter. In December, he saw it after a tussle with Cesc Fabregas.

As a result, the Brazilian will not be able to play in the FA Cup match on Friday against West Ham and in the Premier League matches against Everton, Tottenham, and the same Hammer team.
