The Italian was sent to the stands from the touchline by referee Neil Swarbrick in the 43rd minute of Chelsea's 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday after protesting about the award of a Swansea goal kick.

Conte, who watched the second half on a screen in the dressing-room, apologised for his behaviour.

“I was frustrated for this situation," he said. "I tried to tell again, but then the referee took this decision. I repeat, I apologise for this. For sure I made a mistake.”

He has until 6 PM GMT on Tuesday to respond to the charge.
