Above: QPR star Shaun Wright-Phillips is in hot water

Shaun Wright-Phillips is in hot water with the FA for using an obscenity on Twitter.

The England and QPR star re-sent a tweet containing the swear word. Starsport understands the initial tweet was from a Manchester City fan attacking Wolves star Karl Henry.

It followed Henry’s recent bust-up with QPR’s Joey Barton at Molineux.

FA officials were alerted when Wright-Phillips re-tweeted.

They wrote to the former City star asking for an explanation.

Wright-Phillips apologised and was last night handed a written warning.

FA chiefs have told him that a repeat will see him hit with a misconduct charge.
