However, the <em>Daily Mail\u00a0<\/em>report that the club are &#8216;unlikely&#8217; to do so.<\/p>\n<p>As such, City and Lewis will have to settle for a one-match suspension.<\/p>\n<h2>WATCH: Rico Lewis Red Card vs Wydad<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"es\">\u00a1MADRE M\u00cdA!
