Man City boss welcomes Costa stamping ban

Chelsea striker Diego Costa should change his game after picking up a three-match ban for stamping, says Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini. Costa cannot face City in the Premier League on Saturday after being found guilty of violent conduct, reports BBC Sport.

The Football Association ruled he stamped on Liverpool's Emre Can during Tuesday's League Cup semi-final win.

"It will be a good thing for him to change a little bit in the future," Pellegrini said.

"He doesn't need to play in that way because he's a very good player."
