Kiko Casilla Facing 12-Match Ban as Leeds & Former Real Madrid Keeper Accused of Racism

Leeds United goalkeeper Kiko Casilla could be facing a 12-match ban if he is found guilty by the FA of racially abusing Charlton forward Jonathan Leko, when the two sides met back in September.

Marcelo Bielsa's side fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the Valley in the EFL Championship fixture on 28 September, in which the former Real Madrid keeper is alleged to have directed a Spanish racial slur towards the 20-year-old.

The incident was included in the referee's report of the match according to the Mail, and as such it was handed over to the FA for investigation.
