Emmanuel Eboue accepts his good friend Emmanuel Adebayor deserved a three-match ban for stamping on Robin van Persie.
The Togo international, who joined Manchester City in the summer for £25million, admitted the charge of violent conduct brought against him by the Football Association for stamping on Robin van Persie, and so must sit out the derby with Manchester United on Sunday.
A separate charge of improper conduct, brought after the former Arsenal striker ran the length of the pitch to taunt Gunners fans with a goal celebration, will be considered at a later date.
Ivory Coast international Eboue was one of Adebayor's closest friends during their time at Emirates Stadium, but admits the events of last weekend at Eastlands left a sour taste.
"For me, personally, I don't know why he did what he did. I am very disappointed with his attitude to us and the supporters," Eboue told the London Evening Standard.
"The FA have banned him and it is right because he is to blame.
"What he did is not good for football.
"He is my friend and he was my team-mate, but I am not happy he did that."
Eboue added: "Afterwards, we did not speak about the game, but I told him I was not happy with him. We have not spoken since."
