AFC Wimbledon could be docked points after fielding an ineligible player in the win against Cheltenham Town last month.

Jake Nicholson scored on his debut after coming on as a substitute in the 4-3 victory over the Robins on March 22 but wasn't cleared to play in the fixture.

The 21-year-old has appeared three times for the Dons following his move to Kingsmeadow after leaving Scottish side Morton earlier this season.

A club statement said: "The club has been called to appear before a Football Disciplinary Committee (FDC) on 28 April in relation to fielding an ineligible player, Jake Nicholson, in our fixture with Cheltenham Town.

"The FDC has discretion whether or not to deduct points. We will be represented at the hearing by Jim Sturman QC and he has advised us that it would not be appropriate to make any further comment at this time.

"As soon as the outcome of the hearing has been determined we will publish the background to this charge."
