CHESTERFIELD could be thrown out of the FA Cup after being charged with fielding an ineligible player.
On-loan defender Georg Margreitter played in the Derbyshire club's second-round win at MK Dons without written permission from parent club Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Spireites, who have been drawn away to Scunthorpe United or Worcester City in the third round, have until 5pm on Thursday to respond to the charge.
Chesterfield chief executive Chris Turner said: "We had a verbal agreement to play Georg but, unfortunately, we did not ensure that the consent was received in writing.
