A controversial French comedian at the centre of the Nicolas Anelka anti-semitism row has been banned from entering the UK, the Home Office said. The West Brom striker has been charged by the FA for using Dieudonne M'bala M'bala's 'quenelle' gesture.
Nicolas Anelka faces the prospect of a minimum five-match ban after being charged by the Football Association over his controversial 'quenelle' goal celebration.
West Brom's French striker has until Thursday to respond to the charge for the gesture, which some say is an inverted Nazi salute and has anti-Semitic connotations.
Anelka has been charged with making a improper gesture and that it was an aggravated breach, in that it included "a reference to ethnic origin and/or race and/or religion or belief."Under new FA rules, such aggravated offences carry a minimum five-match ban and possibly a longer suspension.
