WESTERN Sydney Wanderers midfielder Mitch Nichols is free to play in the A-League grand final.

The 26-year-old has been cited under the FFA National Code of Conduct over gesture directed at Brisbane Roar fans following last Sunday’s A-League semi final.

But he has been given until 5pm AEDT on Wednesday 4 May to respond, meaning he is free to play in this weekend’s grand final.

“FFA has sought a response from Nichols in relation to conduct he is alleged to have engaged in after the Hyundai A-League 2016 semi final match between Western Sydney Wanderers FC and Brisbane Roar FC on 24 April 2016,” a statement from the FFA read.

“Nichols has an opportunity to provide a submission by 5pm on Wednesday, 4 May 2016.”

Possible sanctions if found guilty of a breach include a reprimand, a fine and/or suspension from participation in a match or matches.
