The club also confirmed that it is no longer investigating the incident itself and that it fully cooperates with the FA’s investigation.
The spokesman added: “John Yems is no longer part of Crawley Town Football Club. We continue to fully cooperate with the FA’s investigation, which is still ongoing.
“Any action by the club will be determined at the appropriate time according to the results of the FA.
“We remain looking forward to working with our players, staff and supporters as we build a team and community that fans can continue to be proud of – both on and off the pitch. grass.”
