Newcastle United have confirmed midfielder Jonjo Shelvey is contesting an FA charge relating to last month's defeat at Wolves.
Jonjo Shelvey has pleaded not guilty to a misconduct charge from the Football Association which alleged he used racially abusive language.
The incident relates to last month's Championship match between Wolves and the midfielder's club Newcastle United, who lost 2-0 at Molineux.
Shelvey is alleged to have used "abusive and/or insulting words… [that] included reference to ethnic origin and/or race and/or nationality" towards Morocco international Romain Saiss.
The 24-year-old had until Wednesday to respond the charge, which he has now denied and requested a personal hearing.
