Sheffield Wednesday have been charged with misconduct by the Football Association after one of their fans aimed a racist gesture at Coventry midfielder Kasey Palmer.

A man was arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Palmer in the league game between the sides last month.

Wednesday said at the time anyone "found culpable" would face the "strictest possible sanctions".

They have until Wednesday, 6 March to respond to the charge.
