BURNLEY have handed an indefinite ban to the supporter who racially abused Mark Marshall in Saturday’s friendly.
The Clarets confirmed that they had spoken to a 30-year-old from Accrington and he would not be allowed to attend their games home or away.
A second man who voluntary left Valley Parade in connection with the incident will face no action.
A police investigation is still ongoing but a statement from the Premier League club said: “We have a zero tolerance approach to any such behaviour and strongly condemn discrimination of any type.”
