Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has been charged by the English Football Association with improper conduct for allegedly posting anti-Semitic comments on Twitter.
The FA says Frimpong used a ''reference to ethnic origin, faith or race'' in response to an abusive tweet aimed at him on Sunday. The post has since been removed.
In a statement on its website, the FA said Tuesday that Frimpong is suspected of posting comments ''amounting to improper conduct and/or which brought the game into disrepute.''
The soccer body gave Frimpong until July 27 to respond to the charge.
