Nicolas Anelka's disciplinary hearing into his controversial 'quenelle' gesture is likely to start in late February. The English Football Association has charged the West Bromwich Albion footballer for making the Nazi-style salute, largely seen as anti-Semitic, during a goal celebration against West Ham on 28 December. He faces a minimum five match ban if found guilty although recent media reports suggest he may even be sacked by his club if he's found to have broken regulations.
