Michael Owen faces an anxious wait to discover if he is to be punished for throwing a punch during Stoke City's 1-0 defeat at Arsenal on Saturday.
The former England forward, 33, appeared to strike Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta on the back after reacting angrily to a full-blooded challenge by the Spanish midfielder.
Referee Chris Foy awarded a free kick to Arsenal but did not punish Owen with either a yellow or red card, which means retrospective action by the Football Association is possible.
