Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has written to the FA to say he regrets the fact his social media post may have unintentionally caused offence, reports BBC Sport.
BBC Sport understands Bernardo personally wrote the letter, which was submitted before Thursday's 17:00 BST deadline.
Team-mate Benjamin Mendy has also written to the FA in support of Bernardo, saying he did not take offence at the posts.
Bernardo is adamant he never intended to offend and his posts were not racially motivated.
