Sunderland defender Papy Djilobodji has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association for an incident involving West Brom's Darren Fletcher on Saturday.
The Senegalese's arm appeared to make contact with Fletcher's face in the 86th minute of his side's 2-0 defeat.
The incident was not seen by the match officials but was caught on video.
The FA said the 28 year old has until 18:00 GMT on Tuesday to reply to the charge.
