Leicester star Danny Drinkwater facing three game ban after being charged with violent conduct

Leicester midfielder Danny Drinkwater has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association.

The England international faces a three-game ban after he appeared to elbow Watford's Valon Behrami in the second half of the Foxes' 2-1 defeat 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 viewing the video.

If banned, the 26-year-old would miss matches against Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Manchester City, starting with the visit of Boro to the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
