A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to the FA’s update on the Kiko Casilla racism case.
Will Leeds miss Casilla if he is banned?
Yes, had a really good season so far
No, Meslier will step up
Graham Smyth has confirmed that the FA cannot give a timeframe for the Casilla hearing, and this has irritated a lot of Whites supporters who feel that they are waiting for the worst possible time to ban the Spaniard.
The FA say they cannot yet give a timeframe for the Kiko Casilla hearing, for those asking.#lufc

Pathetic the way it’s been dragged out, guilty or innocent.

What do we think?
Casilla was charged with using racist language towards Jonathan Leko back in November.
Still, since then, the FA have said nothing, and the Spaniard has continued to play every Championship game for Leeds.
This is now dragging on, and surely if the FA had enough evidence to find Casilla guilty, they would have already banned him?
The reason it is going on for so long must be because they are struggling to find the evidence required to ban him.
However, judging by Illan Meslier’s performance on Monday, even if the FA were to finally ban Casilla, the Whites might not miss him.
