Semi-professional footballer Alfie Barker has been charged by the Football Association in relation to offensive messages sent to Bournemouth's Harry Arter about his still-born daughter.
The tweets from an account in the name of Barker were sent to Arter after Bournemouth conceded a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Arsenal on January 3.
A statement from the FA on Wednesday night read: "Alfie Barker has been charged for misconduct in relation to social media comments. It is alleged the player posted comments which were abusive and/or insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute contrary to Rule E3 (1). He has until January 25, 2017 to respond to the charge."
