Espanyol suspend fans over racism

Carlos Kameni has been the target of racist abuse in Spain

Spanish club Espanyol have suspended two fans who abused Cameroon goalkeeper Carlos Kameni.

The incident happened during Saturday's league game against Barcelona.

The club said on their website that they are attempting to identify two more who were involved in an attack on two Japanese spectators.

Espanyol added that they would decide whether or not to expel the fans permanently at a board meeting later this week.

"Espanyol has always stood against violence and xenophobic behaviour and for some time has rejected any attitude that is contrary to sporting behaviour and respect towards others," the club said in a statement.

Kameni has been a regular victim of racial abuse from a section of the club's radical fans as well as opposing supporters at other grounds in Spain.

Last month he said the abuse had affected his performances for the club.

Kameni is currently on duty for Cameroon as part of their African Nations Cup squad.
