Back Premier League: Martin Demichelis charged for betting-related violation

Manchester City central defender Martin Demichelis has been charged by the English Football Association for an offence related to betting. The Argentinian, aged 35, has reportedly breached the rules 12 times in the space of just six days in 2016: between January 22 and January 28.

According to Sky Sports sources there is no indication that Demichelis fixed matches or placed bets on matches he has been playing in. However, the new rules which have been instated at the start of the 2014-15 season say that players and coaches are prevented from betting on any football match anywhere in the world.The player now has until April 5 to respond to the accusations.

He joined Manchester City in 2013 from Atletico Madrid. Demichelis has made 18 Premier League appearances this season but had a terrible display last time out against Manchester United and was substituted. His most recent match was the 2-0 Argentina win over Bolivia in the South American section of World Cup qualifying.
