Burnley Under-23 Coach Steve Stone Told to Stay Away From the Club Amid Bullying Probe

Burnley Under-23s coach Steve Stone has been told to stay away from the club amid an investigation into bullying claims.

Stone has been head of the Clarets' youth side since 2018, overseeing the emergence of talents such as Dwight McNeil.

But the former England international has not been in the technical area for the development squad's last three matches, including their 1-1 draw against Leeds.
