DELE ALI IN TROUBLE FOR CONTROVERSAL CORONAVIRUS VIDEO.

Dele Ali seems to have landed himself in trouble with the FA following the video he posted on snapchat, and he has until march 5 to respond to the charge.

On February 9, Alli shared a video to his official Snapchat account, which showed him wearing a facemask in an airport departure lounge.

In the clip – captioned "Corona whattt [sic], please listen with volume" – Alli focused the camera on a man of Asian appearance before turning it on a bottle of antiseptic hand wash. "This virus gunna have to be quicker than that to catch me," read the second caption. Although Alli deleted the video and issued an apology on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. He has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E3 by the Football Association (FA).

The FA statement confirming the charge read: "It is alleged that the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder's post breaches FA Rule E3(1) as it was insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute.

"It is further alleged that the post constitutes an "Aggravated Breach", which is defined in FA Rule E3(2), as it included a reference, whether express or implied, to race and/or colour and/or ethnic origin and/or nationality."

Alli has until March 5 to respond to the charge.
