Newcastle striker Craig Bellamy will learn tomorrow whether or not he is to face an FA suspension.

The 23-year-old will attend a personal hearing tomorrow morning after being charged with using abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official during Newcastle's 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough on March 5th.

It is understood that Bellamy will admit the offence.

A ban could rule him out of key games as Newcastle attempt to secure their place in next season's Champions League.
