The Football Association is investigating reports that referee Jon Moss was verbally abused by Leicester City club officials in the tunnel at the King Power Stadium on Sunday.
The Foxes salvaged a point in a 2-2 draw with West Ham United in a game overshadowed by a number of controversial decisions by the official.
Leicester have already been charged by the FA for failing to control their players and surrounding the referee after Moss awarded West Ham an 83rd-minute penalty.
Leicester could face more charges if the FA decide to act on reports that Moss was abused by club officials and had water thrown at him by Leicester supporters.
The FA would be able take action if they received reports of such incidents from Moss, members of his officiating team or other independent witnesses.

After the game Moss returned to the referee's room and asked to see the Leicester club secretary. He was then seen speaking to Leicester's operations director Andrew Neville.
Leonardo Ulloa scored from the penalty spot in the fifth minute of injury-time to earn 10-man Leicester, who had Jamie Vardy sent off, a share of the spoils.
Vardy, who opened the scoring on Sunday, has been charged with improper conduct by the FA for his behaviour following his red card which could see his one-match ban increased.
