Yannick Sagbo, Benoit Assou-Ekotto given more time to respond to FA charge

By , Reporter
The Football Association grants Yannick Sagbo and Benoit Assou-Ekotto more time to respond to improper conduct charges related to the 'quenelle' gesture.

Yannick Sagbo and Benoit Assou-Ekotto have been given more time to respond to FA charges of improper conduct.

The Hull City striker and the Queens Park Rangers left-back are alleged to have made posts on social media relating to the controversial 'quenelle' gesture.

The duo were originally set a deadline of April 8 to respond to the charges, but this has now been extended.

Devised by French comedian Dieudonne M'bala M'bala, the 'quenelle' is an anti-establishment hand gesture that has also come to be associated with anti-semitism.

Nicolas Anelka was sacked by West Bromwich Albion for making the gesture during a Premier League match in December.
