Man City have been fined around £800,000 after accepting their punishment for breaching a Premier League rule nine times.
City, who are currently competing at the Club World Cup in the US, endured a disappointing domestic season in 2024-25, coming third in the top flight to end their run of four successive titles.
And to add to their woes, Pep Guardiola's side breached a league rule which has seen them come to an agreement with the top flight over the issue.
According to Rule L.33, all teams in the Premier League must kick off, or restart games for the second half in a punctual manner, or else they may be fined.
