Crystal Palace have suspended their long-serving academy director Gary Issott over allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
The club have launched an investigation into claims Issott attempted to shower with members of the Under 18 team at an away fixture earlier this season.
It is understood there was only one shower facility at the ground in question.
Details of the incident were passed to the club’s head of safeguarding, Marcus Puddephatt, and then relayed to the Crystal Palace board.
There is no suggestion that Issott made any physical advances towards players.
