However, the Blues' on-loan midfielder has requested a personal hearing to explain his actions. The charge relate's to Butt's reactions towards the referee's assistant after he had been sent off for violent conduct for kicking out at Pompey midfielder Dario Silva.
Butt has already begun to serve the three match ban for the sending off and a Disciplinary Commission will hear his case on the abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official charge on a date yet to be decided.
