Man City midfielder Bernardo Silva: One day I'll speak...

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva says he will respond to his suspension in good time.

Bernardo was given a one-match ban by the FA for an 'offensive' social media post sent to close friend Benjamin Mendy. In their ruling, the FA admitted the post was not racist, yet still suspended the midfielder.

Before the Euros qualifier against Luxembourg, the Portugal midfielder was asked about the ban.

"To begin with I feel very good, I have always felt like that. I understand the question, but this is not the time to talk about it," he said.

"One day I will speak, but this is not the time. We feel confident, it is a decisive game. A team that created a lot of problems for us in Alvalade, also against Serbia and Ukraine. Portugal wants to be in Euro2020. It is our goal. Let's try to be there to the fullest."
