The midfielder according to reports have requested a non-personal hearing which will see written submissions taken by an independent disciplinary commission, which once it sits in due course will decide whether to impose the expected financial penalty or instead issue a suspension.

Speaking after  England's goalless draw with the Republic of Ireland on Sunday, June 7,  Wilshere said he was disappointed with the charge but has put the incident behind him.

"I was a little (disappointed with the charge), but you know that is something the FA are dealing with and my club are dealing with so what will be, will be," Wilshere said as quoted by .

"I have always had that bond with the Arsenal fans since I was young because I came through the club. I grew up at Arsenal and I love the fans but, believe it or not, I have actually got family who are Tottenham fans so it's nothing personal against them, it was just a bit of fun."
