Newcastle's Papiss Cisse has accepted a Football Association charge for spitting at Manchester United's Jonny Evans.

The FA has not confirmed how many games the striker will be banned for, but it will reportedly be up to seven.

Cisse apologised earlier and the club say he will use his suspension to do additional work for the Newcastle United Foundation.

Evans has until 6pm tomorrow to respond to the same charge.
