Manchester United's Edinson Cavani has been charged for a deleted social media post containing a Spanish phrase that is offensive in some contexts.
Cavani, 33, subsequently deleted it and apologised when the meaning that could be attached to it was pointed out.
Under new FA guidelines agreed in the summer, Cavani risks a minimum three-match ban if he is found guilty.
"It is alleged that, contrary to FA Rule E3.1, a comment posted on the Manchester United FC player's Instagram page was insulting and/or abusive and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute," said the FA in a statement.
