Ex-Man City star Nico Gonzalez sends message to former teammates after guilty verdict

Former Manchester City midfielder Nico Gonzalez expressed sympathy for his former teammates and staff members following the club's guilty verdict on 114 Premier League financial charges. Speaking to Sky Sports, the Spanish midfielder noted he feels bad for those facing uncertainty at the Etihad Stadium and wished everyone involved the best.

Manchester City were found guilty by an independent panel of arranging sham sponsorship deals and have appealed the decision. Gonzalez, who joined Newcastle United in a £50 million summer transfer, is expected to return from concussion protocols for Newcastle's upcoming fixture against Coventry City.
