Bolton's Tal Ben-Haim has had his charge for improper conduct quashed by the Football Association following a personal hearing which took place earlier on today.

A statement from the Football Association reads as follows:

"At a disciplinary commission hearing, the charge of improper conduct against Bolton Wanderers defender Tal Ben Haim was found to be not proven, The charge related to an incident involving Wayne Rooney during the match at Old Trafford on December 26."
