Henchoz’s fate over spitting claims rests on video evidence

LIVERPOOL defender Stephane Henchoz’s fate following spitting allegations made against him is set to rest on video evidence if referee Alan Wiley confirms he did not see the incident.

Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock claimed Swiss star Henchoz spat at him at the end of last night's Worthington Cup semi-final second-leg clash at Anfield which the Merseysiders won 3-2 on aggregate.

Henchoz and his manager Gerard Houllier insist the player spat on the ground, not at the controversial Blades manager.
