West Bromwich Albion frontman Jay Rodriguez has today been charged by the Football Association after allegedly racially abusing Brighton full-back Gaetan Bong during last month's Premier League clash.
Defender Bong claimed England international Rodriguez abused him in Brighton's 2-0 defeat at the Hawthorns on January 13.
An FA statement today said that Rodriguez has been charged for "abusive and/or insulting words which included a reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race".
The 28-year-old, who has one England cap, has until February to respond to the FA charge.
