Burnley's Andre Gray, banned for four matches for historic abusive social media posts, has received backing from his manager Sean Dyche.
Burnley manager Sean Dyche has backed Andre Gray after the Football Association handed the striker a four-game ban for offensive social media posts.
After Gray scored in a 2-0 Premier League win over Liverpool last month, historic posts from his Twitter account were widely shared, including one that read: "Is it me or are there gays everywhere? #Burn #Die #Makesmesick".
Gray issued an apology for the posts, saying he was now a "wholly different person" and did "not hold the beliefs written in those tweets whatsoever", but the 25-year-old was found guilty of six aggravated breaches of FA Rule E3(1) on Friday.
