Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 65593, member: 636"] Burnley midfielder Hannibal Mejbri faces potential suspension after Leeds United supporters accused him of spitting on them on Saturday when the teams met in a match that Burnley won 2-0. The English Football Association and Lancashire Police launched investigations into the allegations, and authorities will review evidence before determining whether to impose sanctions on the Tunisian international. Leeds fans who attended the fixture reported that the incident occurred in the second half, and police began working with Burnley officials to establish facts. The Football Association will await the investigation conclusions before pursuing disciplinary measures against Mejbri, who entered as a substitute in the 83rd minute, and the 37-cap Tunisia international received a yellow card after fouling Leeds player Gabriel Gudmundsson in stoppage time.
