Leicester midfielder Hamza Choudhury has been charged with misconduct in relation to comments made on social media in 2013 and 2014.
The 21-year-old posted a number of tweets in 2013 and 2014, some with racial references and another in which he criticised women's football.
Choudhury has since apologised for his remarks and appears to have deactivated his Twitter account.
It is alleged that the comments breach FA Rule E3(1) as they were abusive and/or insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute.
It is further alleged that the comments constitute an 'Aggravated Breach', which is defined in FA Rule E3(2), as they included reference to ethnic origin and/or race and/or sexual orientation.
The midfielder has until May 13 to provide a response.
Choudhury, who has made 19 appearances for Leicester, will not be subject to any further disciplinary action from the club.
