The former Real Madrid winger is plying trade in Mexico. He was attacked by a rival's coach, a former Barcelona player

Former Watford and Brighton boss Oscar Garcia - now in charge of Guadalajara - has been given a three-match touchline ban for kicking James Rodriguez during a Mexican league game.

Garcia, who played for Barcelona in his youth, kicked Rodriguez on the back of the legs during a melee between the players and coaching staff.

The 51-year-old, who was sent off for the incident, apologised after the Liga MX game, which Rodrigues' Leon won 2-1.

The former Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Everton player, 33, joined Leon on a free transfer at the start of January.
