Morgan bears the scars of his clash with McCulloch
|
Wigan's Lee McCulloch has apologised to Sheffield United captain Chris Morgan following an incident in Saturday's game which left Morgan with a cut eye.
The Football Association may act over the incident, in which McCulloch swung his right arm at Morgan, as referee Peter Walton semed to have missed it.
United won the game 1-0 and minutes after the final whistle McCulloch asked to speak to Morgan and shake his hand.
Neither team's manager saw the incident in second-half stoppage time.
It is the second time in a week that Morgan has been caught up in an ugly incident, having also been struck by the elbow of Aston Villa's Juan Pablo Angel during the 2-2 draw at Bramall Lane.
In that case, referee Mark Halsey saw the incident, which means no retrospective action can be taken against Angel, but McCulloch could now face a three-match suspension if the FA punish him.
