Heskey Admits To FA Charge

Last updated : 08 February 2006 By Brian Cartlidge

The Blues striker has however requested to appear at the hearing to answer the charges in front of an FA disciplinary panel on Friday, 10th February.

Heskey appeared to be unwilling to leave the field after referee Mike Riley sent him off two minutes from the end of the 2-0 defeat to the Gunners on Saturday.

He will serve an automatic one game ban for the red card and misses the FA Cup 4th Round replay against Reading on Tuesday night.
