"The first charge is as a result of the challenge itself on Haaland, which is alleged to have been improperly motivated, with an apparent element of revenge.
"The second charge relates to Roy Keane allegedly publishing for financial profit or reward an account of his autobiography, in which he speaks of a desire to exact revenge on Haaland, therefore bringing the game into disrepute."
The Express claims Keane will fight on three fronts:
- That Haaland admitted on his website and in a newspaper column that Keane's tackle was not to blame for his crippling knee injury.
- That Keane has already served a suspension for the offence and should not be banned twice for the same incident.
And finally:
That ghostwriter Eamonn Dunphy inaccurately paraphrased his comments in the autobiography.’
