Leeds United and Kiko Casilla yet to apologise to Jonathan Leko after goalkeeper was found guilty of racially abusing Charlton striker

Leeds United and their goalkeeper Kiko Casilla are yet to apologise to striker Jonathan Leko despite Casilla being found guilty of racially abusing him.

In a development sources with knowledge of the situation describe as ‘disgraceful’, Sportsmail understands that neither the Yorkshire club nor their Spanish keeper has said sorry to the West Brom forward.

Casilla was banned for eight matches at the start of March following an incident which took place during a Championship match at the Valley while Leko was on loan at Charlton in September last year.

An independent panel found it ‘fanciful’ to suggest that Casilla, 33, had shouted anything other than ‘you f*****g n****r’ to Leko and added that the evidence presented in the case on the Football Association’s behalf was ‘sufficiently cogent and compelling to allow us to conclude with the necessary confidence’.
