Shaun Wright-Phillips has been warned by the FA after sending an offensive message on Twitter.
The Queens Park Rangers and England midfielder found himself in trouble after re-tweeting a crude message that was sent to him.
Wright-Phillips apologised to the FA after they wrote to him, demanding an explanation for the tweet - which contained the C-word.
It is understood the offending tweet was initially sent to Wright-Phillips by a fan of Manchester City, the club he joined Rangers from this summer.
FA officials, who were alerted to the tweet when the 29-year-old re-tweeted it, launched an immediate investigation.
Wright-Phillips formally apologised for his actions but was still issued with a written warning.
The former Chelsea and Manchester City winger was told by the FA that his conduct was unacceptable and that a repeat would see him face a misconduct charge.
