Sascha Riether accepts violent conduct charge

Sascha Riether accepts a violent conduct charge for his stamp on Manchester United playmaker Adnan Januzaj.

Fulham defender Sascha Riether has decided not to contest a Football Association charge of violent conduct.

The German was handed the punishment yesterday evening after a panel of former elite referees had investigated his alleged stamp on Manchester United youngster Adnan Januzaj.

Rather than appeal against the verdict, Riether has instead issued an apology to the 18-year-old Belgian for his actions.

"I want to say I am sorry to Adnan Januzai. It was very unlike me and I can only say that frustration got the better of me," the 30-year-old wrote on Twitter.

"I also want to apologise to my teammates, fans and everyone at the club, for the ban incurred following Saturday's match.

"I will accept the consequences of my actions, and hope to put it behind me when I return. I want the fans to know that I will be working hard to stay fit and will be ready to continue fighting for the club as soon as I am able."

Riether is now likely to be suspended for Fulham's next three matches.
