(Reuters) - The English FA has asked FIFA to decide on Dele Alli's punishment before next month's World Cup qualifier against Slovenia to reduce the chance that he will be banned for matches at next year's finals.

Alli was caught on camera raising a middle finger in the direction of French referee Clement Turpin in England's qualifier against Slovakia earlier this month and faces a four-game ban.
