Tottenham midfielder Sissoko facing FA probe over Kenedy clash

Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko is facing an FA probe.

The Sun says Sissoko could face disciplinary action for an alleged stamp on Newcastle winger Kenedy.

Referee Martin Atkinson took no action following the clash between the former Toon star and Kenedy in the 43rd minute of Spurs' 2-1 victory.

The incident took place near the touchline, just in front of the managerial technical areas.

Atkinson had already penalised the midfielder for a foul on Kenedy when Sissoko appeared to stand on the Brazilian who was lying on the grass.

The Frenchman may yet receive retrospective punishment from the Football Association for the incident with Kenedy, which could entail a standard three-match ban for violent conduct.
