David Beckham and other England stars are expected to escape UEFA disciplinary charges as a result of the tunnel bust-up against Turkey, but the Football Association could still face a general charge of failure to control their players.
The deadline for the FA and the Turkish Football Federation to submit evidence to UEFA about the incidents during the match in Istanbul passes tomorrow and a decision on any charges is due on Friday or Monday.
UEFA's disciplinary team have already reviewed video evidence and received referee Pierluigi Collina's report, and unless there is dramatic new evidence from the two FAs charges against individual players are unlikely.
The TV pictures are inconclusive and Collina's report is understood not to have mentioned any individual player as being guilty of violent behaviour.
More likely, but by no means definite, is action against both FAs for failure to control their players. This is a general charge in response to misbehaviour and has been used in the past where teams or countries have had large numbers of players booked and usually a fine is imposed.
If charges are brought then they will be heard by a UEFA disciplinary panel on October 30th, which will also deal with action against the Turkish FA in relation to flares being lit and a couple of missiles thrown onto the pitch.
