Matthew Upson received treatment on an eye injury after the clash with Robert Huth
STOKE defender Robert Huth has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association after an incident involving West Ham's Matthew Upson during the Hammers' 2-1 defeat at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.
Huth appeared to aim a punch at Upson as players waited for a free-kick to be taken. Upson fell to the ground, while the blow also re-opened an eye wound, which he had picked up earlier in the game after a clash with Ryan Shawcross.
The Germany international has until 6pm on Tuesday to respond to the charge.
