Winger facing trouble after incident at Stoke
Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association.
The charge relates to an incident involving Rory Delap in the first half of Man City's 1-0 defeat against Stoke on Saturday.
No action was taken at the time as referee Martin Atkinson did not see what happened, but video footage has now been studied.
Atkinson has informed the FA that he would have sent Wright-Phillips off if he had seen the incident.
Delap was shown a red card in the first half at the Britannia Stadium for a foul on Wright-Phillips but Stoke emerged 1-0 winners thanks to James Beattie's header on 45 minutes.
Wright-Phillips has until 6pm on Thursday to admit or deny the charge, while a Regulatory Commission will hear the case on Friday.
