The Football Association charge Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic with violent conduct.

Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic has been charged by the Football Association with violent conduct for his clash with Wigan Athletic midfielder Shaun Maloney.

The incident took place during the club's 2-1 win over Wigan on Saturday, when the 28-year-old appeared to strike Maloney in the stomach.

The Serbian international now faces a three-match ban, and could consequently miss Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur and upcoming Premier League games against Arsenal and Queens Park Rangers.

Ivanovic has until 6pm on Wednesday to respond to the charge.
