Phil Hay provides update on Leeds goalkeeper Kiko Casilla’s situation

The Leeds United goalkeeper is expected to face a six-game ban over an alleged racist comment directed at Charlton Athletic forward Jonathan Leko.

The Spaniard was charged on November 4 following a lengthy FA investigation. The governing body claimed that Casilla “used abusive and/or insulting words” towards Leko.

While replying to a fan’s tweet, Hay answered that the hearing is ‘expected next week’.

Hay has also claimed that Casilla could face a six-game ban. This would be a massive blow for Leeds who are struggling with form recently.

Casilla is expected to deny the charge, but there’s is support for Leko’s claim.
