Leicester midfielder Danny Drinkwater charged with violent conduct by FA

Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association for allegedly elbowing Watford's Valon Behrami.

Drinkwater, 26, clashed with Behrami in the 67th minute of the Hornets' 2-1 Premier League win at Vicarage Road on Saturday.

Referee Neil Swarbrick took no action during the game but the FA, having been alerted to the footage after it ran on social media on Sunday, has acted after reviewing video replays of the incident.

Drinkwater, who was booked in the game, could face a three-game ban for violent conduct.
