Bolton striker El Hadji Diouf has been summonsed to appear before magistrates over an alleged spitting incident involving fans at Middlesbrough.

The Senegalese international, on loan from Liverpool, is accused of disorderly conduct following an incident at the Riverside Stadium in November where he appeared to spit a mouthful of drink into the crowd after being substituted.

A spokeswoman for the CPS in Cleveland said: "Information has been laid and a summons is being sent out."

Diouf will face magistrates on Teesside for disorderly conduct, although a date has yet to be set.
