Leeds United fans react to Hull City’s tweet

Leeds United will face Hull City in the Championship on Saturday at the KCOM Stadium.

Ahead of the match, Leeds have suffered a huge blow after the Whites goalkeeper Kiko Casilla has been suspended for eight games.

The 33-year-old Spaniard has also been fined £60,000 after being found guilty of racially abusing Charlton Athletic forward Jonathan Leko.

The former Real Madrid goalkeeper has also been ordered to attend a face-to-face education session.

Shortly afterwards, Hull City posted a tweet on their official handle, saying – “A timely reminder that tomorrow’s match against Leeds United is dedicated to Kick It Out…”

“Since its inception in 1993, Kick It Out has provided a clear, independent voice within the game to challenge discrimination and exclusion, as well as offering education for professional players, clubs, fans, grassroots organisations and beyond,” read the club statement.
