Morgan charged with violent conduct
03/01/2007 - 17:40:27Sheffield United captain Chris Morgan has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association.
The charge against the 29-year-old defender relates to an incident involving Robin van Persie, when the Blades player appeared to strike the Arsenal forward out of sight of match referee Alan Wiley in Saturday’s Barclays Premiership match at Bramall Lane.
Morgan has until 6pm tomorrow to respond to the charge and a disciplinary commission will consider the case on Friday.
The centre-back was on the receiving end of a punch earlier this season, with Wigan’s Lee McCulloch banned for three games for hitting the former Barnsley player.
