Duane Holmes: Man arrested over alleged racial tweet to Derby County striker

Duane Holmes missed Derby County's first game of the season due to injury

A man has been arrested over an alleged racist tweet directed at Derby County's Duane Holmes after Nottingham Forest reported a supporter to the police.

Nottinghamshire Police are questioning a 29-year-old on "suspicion of racially aggravated harassment".

The Reds have suspended the person they reported from attending matches, pending the outcome of any enquiries.

Forest say they will also take "robust steps" against anyone who tries to help the supporter breach their ban.

In a statement, Nottingham Forest added that the club would "take further action against the individual when the outcome of the police enquiries and the criminal process is known".

The arrest comes after anti-racism charity Kick It Out reported four cases of alleged racist abuse from Saturday's EFL games.

• Fulham investigate Christie racism claims

• Rise in reports of racist abuse in football can be linked to Brexit'

• FA increases minimum ban for racism to six games

Southend United striker Theo Robinson claimed he was targeted at Saturday's League One game with Coventry City.

Kick It Out also reported that Stoke's James McClean, Barnsley's Bambo Diaby and the sister of Fulham's Cyrus Christie were victims of "unacceptable discriminatory abuse".
