Anelka’s alleged anti-Semitic salute hearing continues

Nicolas Anelka’s disciplinary hearing into his alleged anti-Semitic ‘quenelle’ salute will continue into a second day today.

The independent regulatory commission’s hearing, which is taking place at an undisclosed location, is expected to be completed by the end of the week.

West Brom’s French striker faces a minimum five-match ban under the FA’s new anti-discrimination rules if found guilty. Anelka has been charged by the FA with performing an alleged anti-Semitic gesture during his club’s match against West Ham on December 28.
