According to Phil Hay of The Athletic, the FA are investigating an “issue of discrimination” following last Saturday’s game between Leeds and Charlton.

The unsavoury incident, said to be involving Kiko Casilla, has since been detailed by the Addicks themselves, although they fail to mention who it is that’s been accused in their statement.
Charlton state that the allegation was reported to referee John Brooks during the encounter.
If Casilla is indeed involved then it’s impossible to defend him for his actions and a host of Leeds supporters feel the same way.
They berated the Spaniard on social media as a result, with one saying he needed to get out of the door if he had been racist.
A fellow supporter claimed they didn’t think he could have any more mistakes left in him. The 32-year-old was also branded a pure liability. How he might have played against West Brom last night was also referenced.
Casilla has started every single one of Leeds’ matches this season but this report might well have a large impact on how his season now pans out.
Here’s what Leeds fans have been saying about him on Twitter.
If he has done what is said then get him out the door. Play the young lad Mesler and get in a free agent as cover to January. No place for him at the club if he has done this. Added to this he a pure liability anyway and costs us points

Didn’t know he had any more mistakes left in him

Just imagine what a distracted Casilla might play like tonight …

If Kiko Casilla really did racially abuse a player, he should receive a lengthy ban and hefty fine, how is this still happening in this day and age. Disgusting.

Not defending Casilla in anyway if he’s found guilty then rightly he should punished. #lufc

Casilla if guilty no place for racism at all no excuses

Fingers crossed Casilla, if it’s him, gets a lifetime ban ? ?
