spitting towards Leeds United fans last month.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Mejbri, 22, came on as a substitute in the 83rd minute of the Premier League match between the sides at Turf Moor on 18 October, which the Clarets won 2-0.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But the alleged incident is said to have happened 16 minutes before his introduction, while the former Manchester United player was warming up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Lancashire Police looked into the matter after a complaint was made by a Leeds fan in the away section of the ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">An FA statement said: &#8220;It is alleged the player acted in breach of the laws of the game and\/or in an improper manner and\/or used abusive and\/or indecent behaviour by spitting at or in the direction of Leeds United supporters around the 67th minute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Hannibal Mejbri has until Friday 28 November to provide a response.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">BBC Sport has contacted both Burnley and Leeds for comment. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Tunisia international Mejbri joined Burnley from Manchester United in August 2024 in a deal which could eventually be worth \u00a39.4m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He has made 50 appearances in all competitions for the Clarets, scoring one goal. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script
