"The United defender caught the Belgian winger inside the first 10 minutes of City's 2-0 Premier League defeat at Old Trafford on 17 January. Referee Anthony Taylor showed Dalot a yellow card and the decision was supported by the video assistant referee (VAR) Craig Pawson, who deemed the contact "glancing and not with excessive force". Premier League referees' boss Howard Webb later rejected claims his officials made a mistake by not showing a red card."
"I can only say that I continued to play but was painful to play in Norway. You guys know my feelings about it. I could have [been out for a long time]. It happened and I didn't play in Norway but I don't want to go too much into it. It is the past now. Thanks to the Lord I didn't get injured badly and I am able to play now. It is the only thing I can focus on now."
Jeremy Doku received a studs-up challenge from Diogo Dalot early in the Manchester derby but avoided serious injury. Referee Anthony Taylor issued a yellow card and VAR Craig Pawson judged the contact 'glancing and not with excessive force'. Premier League referees' boss Howard Webb and Dalot backed the decision. The knock prevented Doku from appearing off the bench in City's Champions League trip to Bodo/Glimt, and he described playing while in pain. Doku said he was thankful not to be out long and is focused on playing. He also suffered a studs-down challenge from Wolves' Yerson Mosquera, who was booked.
