Burnley's Gray asks for personal hearing over FA charge

The 25-year-old initially had until Aug. 31 to respond to the charge but was given an extension until Sept 5.

"Burnley striker Andre Gray has requested a personal hearing to answer Football Association charges relating to historical posts made on social media," Burnley said in a statement on their website (www.burnleyfootballclub.com).

Gray apologised immediately after his comments came to light, saying he was at a very different point in his life four years ago.

A date for the hearing has not yet been set.
