FA charges West Brom's Rodriguez over incident with Brighton's Bong
The Football Association (FA) has announced it has charged Jay Rodriguez following an incident in a Premier League game between West Brom and Brighton and Hove Albion.
Rodriguez was involved in an altercation with Brighton defender Gaetan Bong in the second half of West Brom's 2-0 victory on January 13.
Bong made a complaint against Rodriguez after the forward appeared to squeeze his nose and waft a hand at the Cameroon international.
And the FA has now confirmed Rodriguez has been charged following an assessment of the incident.
"It is alleged he used abusive and/or insulting words which included a reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race," said the FA statement.
