Plans for a minimum five-match ban for racist abuse have been backed by the Professional Footballers’ Association.
The Football Association have yet to endorse the sanction, but it is one of a number of ideas being discussed.
“The PFA have agreed proposals with the FA that ‘racist abuse’ should carry a minimum five-match ban,” they said on their Twitter page.
Chelsea captain John Terry received a four-match suspension in September for racially abusing QPR’s Anton Ferdinand.
Liverpool’s Luis Suarez received an eight-match ban in December 2011 for his abuse of Patrice Evra.
