Man Utd midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has been charged with violent conducted following an incident in his side's 0-0 draw with West Ham on Saturday.
Five minutes before half-time, the German was seen (though not by officials) elbowing West Ham centre-back Winston Reid.
The FA has released the following statement.
Bastian Schweinsteiger has been charged for an alleged act of violent conduct which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.
The Manchester United midfielder was involved in an incident with West Ham United’s Winston Reid in the 40th minute of the game on Saturday 5 December 2015.
The matter was referred to a panel of three former elite referees who each reviewed the video footage independently of one another to determine whether they considered it a sending-off offence.
For an FA charge to follow the decision by the panel must be unanimous.
The player has until 12noon on Thursday 10 December 2015 to reply to the charge.
Here's the incident.
