The Werder Bremen striker was alleged to have abused Micah Richards and Anton Ferdinand during England´s 2-0 win. Although Hunt - who is half English - denied making racist remarks, he was charged by UEFA.FA director of communications Adrian Bevington said: "We take the issue of racism very seriously and we welcome the fact that UEFA have decided to take action on this case."
