West Bromwich Albion’s Jonathan Leko has accused the Professional Footballers’ Association and ‘leading
anti-racism bodies’ of failing to support him after he was racially abused.
Leeds United goalkeeper Kiko Casilla was given an eight-match ban after he was found to have used a racial
slur towards the forward while he was playing for Charlton Athletic in a Championship match back in
September.
Casilla initially denied the charge but an independent regulatory commission found the breach proven.
