Sheffield Wednesday charged by FA after Kasey Palmer incident
It's after allegations the Coventry midfielder suffered racist abuse at Hillsborough
Sheffield Wednesday have been charged by the FA after allegations Coventry midfielder Kasey Palmer suffered racist abuse at Hillsborough.
Palmer was allegedly subjected to racist abuse when he went to retrieve the ball during the Sky Blues' Championship game with Wednesday on the 20th January.
The Owls quickly condemned the abuse but have been charged with failing to control their crowd.
An FA statement read: "Sheffield Wednesday have been charged with misconduct in relation to crowd control following their EFL Championship game against Coventry City on Saturday, January 20.
"It's alleged that the club failed to ensure their spectators and/or supporters (and anyone purporting to be supporters) conduct themselves in an orderly fashion during the 94th minute, and don't use words or otherwise behave in an improper and/or offensive and/or abusive and/or insulting way, with an express or implied reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race.
"Sheffield Wednesday have until Wednesday March 6 to provide their response."
