West Brom striker Jay Rodriguez has been given extra time to respond to a charge of alleged racist abuse against Albion defender Gaetan Bong.
He has been granted an extension by the FA until March 9.
Rodriguez was originally given until today to respond to the charge arising from the incident with Bong during the Premier League match at the Hawthorns on January 13.
He has reportedly appointed a lip reader and leading QC to assist him.
