City reportedly breached a Premier League broadcasting rule after Enzo Maresca was not made available for radio interviews following Sunday’s 3-0 win at Liverpool.
TalkSPORT reports that City refused to allow Maresca to speak to radio stations after the game at Anfield and gave no explanation for the decision. The City boss did speak to Sky Sports and attended his post-match press conference.

There has been no indication of what action, if any, the Premier League will take over the incident.
City’s 3-0 victory at Anfield maintained their perfect start to the Premier League season, with Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki scoring after Liverpool were reduced to 10 men.
The broadcasting issue is separate from City’s ongoing financial case. The club have appealed against the independent commission’s findings, with the next stage of that process covered in our Man City appeal explainer.
