Marc Libbra - Facing possible suspension
Both players are charged with "violent, threatening, abusive, indecent or insulting words or behaviour" and face a fine and possible suspension if found guilty.

Norwich City Chief Executive Neil Doncaster will accompany Libbra to an FA hearing on a date to be fixed. He said,"Marc has admitted the charge, but has requested a personal hearing to set out the mitigating circumstances and extreme provocation involved. We have examined a tape of the incident in detail and consider that Marc is more sinned against than sinner".

Any punishment by the authorities is at the discretion of the FA.
