Stoke City will appeal to the Football Association after
Charlie Adam was charged with violent conduct on Monday.
Adam appeared to stand on the leg of Arsenal striker
Olivier Giroud during Saturday's Premier League clash at the Britannia Stadium,
which Stoke won 1-0 thanks to a Jonathan Walters penalty.
The incident was not seen by referee Mike Jones but was
caught on camera, and the Football Association have ruled that there is enough
evidence to charge the Scotland midfielder.
An FA statement read: "Stoke City's Charlie Adam has
today been charged by The FA for violent conduct, following an incident with
Arsenal's Olivier Giroud.
"The incident, which was not seen by the match
officials but caught on video, occurred during the fixture between the two
sides at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday 1 March 2014.
"Adam has until 6pm on Tuesday 4 March 2014 to
respond to the charge."
Stoke issued an immediate response, announcing their
intention to "vigorously appeal" against the charge.
"The club have learnt within the last hour that the
FA have chosen to charge Charlie Adam following an incident involving Olivier
Giroud in Saturday's Barclays Premier League game against Arsenal," read a
Stoke statement.
"Charlie and the club are surprised and disappointed
to learn of this and will appeal vigorously against the decision."
