Expert appointed in Anelka probe

10 January 2014 18:16

The Football Association is working with an "appointed expert" as part of its ongoing investigation into Nicolas Anelka's controversial 'quenelle' goal celebration.

The governing body said the investigation is continuing into the gesture, which is regarded by some in France as having anti-Semitic connotations.

A statement from the FA said: "The FA can confirm that its investigation into Nicolas Anelka remains ongoing.

"We are working with an appointed expert regarding the salient issues related to the 'quenelle' gesture.

"Whilst this work continues as quickly as possible, there will be no further update until Monday 20 January at the earliest. The FA will be making no further comment at this time."
