A judge has issued an arrest warrant for a man accused of making racist gestures towards Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings.
Italian national Angelo Lancianese, 39, was made the subject of a warrant without bail after he failed to attend a hearing at Dudley Magistrates' Court on Monday.
The 39-year-old was arrested when Villa hosted Lazio in a pre-season friendly at Walsall's Bescot Stadium on 3 August.
