- Former Watford midfielder Pierre Dwomoh has been handed an 11-match ban by the FA for racially abusing a team-mate of Indian heritage.
- The incidents occurred during two separate Watford under-21 matches in October and November last year, involving comments about the player's ethnicity and a 'corner shop' remark.
- Dwomoh initially denied the allegations and attempted to pressure the victim to retract his statement before eventually admitting to the charges.
- Watford self-reported the abuse and supported the FA's disciplinary action, having made Dwomoh unavailable for selection once the incident came to light.
- In addition to the ban, which is backdated to April when he left the club, Dwomoh was fined £2,500 and ordered to complete a compulsory face-to-face education programme.
