Newcastle's Mike Williamson contests FA conduct charge
Newcastle defender Mike Williamson has denied a charge of violent conduct following an off-the-ball incident with Bolton's Johan Elmander on Saturday. Williamson appeared to barge into the striker during his team's 5-1 defeat but the incident was missed by referee Howard Webb. However, the Football Association charged the 27-year-old on Monday. A commission will hear the case on Wednesday and Williamson faces at least a three-match ban if found guilty. Under the FA's fast-track regulations, Williamson opted against accepting the standard three-match suspension to contest the charge, although he runs the risk of a possible extended ban.
In their absence, Sol Campbell could earn a first Premier League start since joining in the summer, while Steven Taylor could also make a first appearance of the season having recovered from injury. | |||
