Pep Guardiola will miss Manchester City’s next two matches after receiving his sixth yellow card of the season, resulting in a touchline suspension.
The Spaniard will be banned from the dugout when City face Chelsea and West Ham United in their upcoming fixtures.
The two-match suspension means Guardiola will not be present on the touchline during both games, dealing a temporary setback to the Premier League champions as they continue their campaign.
However, the City manager is expected to return in time for the EFL Cup Final where Manchester City will take on Arsenal.
