Tottenham Hotspur accept Moussa Sissoko violent conduct charge

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino confirms that the club will not contest the FA's charge of violent conduct against Moussa Sissoko.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that the club will accept the FA's charge of violent conduct against Moussa Sissoko.

Sissoko was charged retrospectively following an incident which saw him appear to elbow Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter during Saturday's 0-0 draw between the two sides at the Vitality Stadium.

Pochettino is confident that the contact was accidental, but acknowledged that he would be unlikely to succeed with an appeal and is now resigned to losing the summer signing for the next three games.

"We accept that. We have reviewed the video. We accept the charge and now we move forward," he told reporters.

"After the game it was difficult when I was asked about the action. It was true that it was difficult for me to appreciate the situation of what happened.

"But when I saw it on TV I need to say there was no intention but the elbow was in the face of Arter, that's clear. We accept the charge, and now we need to move forward, and expect a three-match ban."

Spurs have until 6pm on Tuesday to officially respond to the charge.
