Guardiola Receives Touchline Ban After FA Cup Booking

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has been handed a one-match touchline ban after receiving his third yellow card of the season during the FA Cup quarter-final victory over Bournemouth. The booking, which was issued for dissent when Guardiola reacted to a foul on striker Erling Haaland, means he will miss the upcoming Premier League match against Leicester City. Haaland himself is also a concern after leaving the match with a knee injury, which he sustained during the game. Guardiola's previous bookings this season occurred during matches against Arsenal and Fulham. City will face Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-finals, and Guardiola is wary of the challenge posed by the third-placed team in the league. The ban highlights Guardiola's intense emotional involvement on the sidelines, as he has previously been known for his animated reactions during matches.
