FA Hands Burnley’s Hannibal Mejbri Four-Game Ban and £15,000 Fine for Spitting Toward Leeds Fans

Lancashire Police reviewed the complaint but brought no charges.

Overview

  • An independent FA Regulatory Commission imposed the sanction after Mejbri admitted misconduct from the October 18 match around the 67th minute.
  • The suspension rules him out of league fixtures against Newcastle, Fulham, Bournemouth and Everton.
  • Mejbri will be eligible to return on December 30 in the reverse meeting with Newcastle.
  • The FA said the commission’s written reasons will be published in due course.
  • Burnley have not issued a public comment, losing a regular midfielder during a relegation fight after he joined from Manchester United in 2024 and made over 50 appearances.
