Keane has been charged with two counts of bringing the game into disrepute after footage surfaced of him being restrained by Micah Richards, one of his Sky Sports colleagues, during Arsenal's victory against Manchester United at Emirates Stadium on Sunday. It is understood that this incident took place.
Keane was reportedly approached by an individual who tried to headbutt him while walking towards pitch-side from studio for post-match analysis after Alejandro Garnacho had his late goal disallowed for offside.
Keane could claim that his challenge to the teenager was self-defence as football tackles are part
of the game; however, for this defense to work successfully it would require proof that Keane didn't anticipate causing serious harm in doing so.
