Despite Samir Nasri’s belief that Vincent Kompany’s red card served as a catalyst for Manchester City’s spirited performance against Hull City, the Belgian defender may face a more severe punishment, as reported by The Guardian.
Kompany was sent off just 10 minutes into the match against Hull City for pulling on Nikica Jelavic’s jersey, but it seems his troubles may not end there. According to The Guardian, Kompany allegedly displayed inappropriate behavior towards the fourth official upon leaving the field.
The English Football Association could utilize video footage to assess the incident and potentially extend Kompany’s suspension. If this occurs, the Belgian international defender would be sidelined for the upcoming derby against Manchester United on March 25th.
This development poses a significant concern for Manchester City, as they would lose their influential captain for a crucial fixture against their city rivals. Kompany’s disciplinary issues could have broader implications for the team’s performance and ambitions in the league.
