Mings wrote: “I am extremely disappointed at the FA’s decision to ban me for five matches, following what was an accidental collision with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“At no time was there any intentional stamp or a movement to suggest that.
“My foot did not change course and at no point did I try and [sic] move my foot towards his head.
Ibrahimovic was handed a three-match ban for elbowing Mings in retaliationReuters
“My only focus was to get back in and defend, conduct like that is not part of my game.
“So for people to deem that I could intentionally stamp on a fellow professional’s head is upsetting.
“It is an action that would not be acceptable in any walk of life, let alone on a football pitch, and one that would never cross my mind.
