Dele Alli has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association following an investigation into his social media video that made jokes about the coronavirus outbreak.
The Tottenham and England midfielder, 23, breached FA Rule E3(1) as the post was deemed 'insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute'.
Alli now has until March 5 to submit his response to the misconduct charge.
Alli posted the private video on February 8th, showing a man of Asian descent alongside the caption: 'Corona whatttttt, please listen with volume.'
In the next part of the Snapchat story, the midfielder wears a mask while appearing to feign concern. He then shows a bottle of handwash, accompanied by the caption: 'This virus gunna have to be quicker than that to catch me.'
Having already said sorry, on 9th Feb Alli posted a second video apology on Chinese social media site Weibo. Nevertheless, Alli and Spurs are bracing themselves for FA sanctions.
