LONDON Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas was charged with improper conduct by the Football Association on Friday over allegations that he spat at a member of Hull's coaching staff following an FA Cup match.
The 21-year-old Fabregas was not playing in his team's 2-1 win on March 17 but faces two charges, one for walking onto the field of play and the other for spitting at or toward assistant manager Brian Horton.
Hull manager Phil Brown was also charged for comments he made to the media after the match concerning referee Mike Riley.
Fabregas, who could be banned or fined, has denied he spat at anybody.
He was handed Arsenal's captaincy this season after William Gallas was stripped of the armband for comments made about teammates.
The pair have until May 12 to respond to the charges
