Swiss striker Alexander Frei has been charged with spitting at England midfielder Steven Gerrard, UEFA says.

Italy playmaker Francesco Totti was banned for three games by UEFA on Thursday for spitting at Denmark's Christian Poulsen.

Television footage on German channel ZDF showed Frei knocking into Gerrard. As he walks past the England player, he turns and makes a spitting motion at him.

Gerrard turns round to look at Frei in astonishment and wipes the back of his neck.

Switzerland play champions France in their final Group B match on Monday, needing victory to have a chance of making the quarter-finals.
