West Ham player charged over homophobic slur

West Ham midfielder Ravel Morrison faces disciplinary action by the Football Association after being charged with an alleged homophobic comment posted on Twitter.

Morrison, who joined West Ham from Man United in the January transfer window, is alleged to have made the remark during an exchange with another user on the Twitter.

The FA had initially contacted the 19-year-old last week for his comments on the allegation before deciding to formally charge him.

"Ravel Morrison has been charged under FA Rule E3 for use of abusive and/or insulting words including a reference to a person's sexual orientation," the FA said in a statement.
