Despite being omitted from the list of officials on duty for this weekend’s fixtures, Clattenburg has not been suspended by the Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL).
With concerns over the spotlight that would accompany Clattenburg’s next refereeing appointment, no decision has yet been made as to whether the 37 year-old will be considered for duty on the weekend of Nov 10 -11.
However, the PGMOL’s decision to allow Ledger to continue in his role as assistant referee while under investigation last season offers a potential precedent.
Ledger continued to be selected for top flight fixtures after being reported by an official in the Barnsley Referees’ Association, for allegedly making homophobic comments during a game involving teenage boys. Ledger was found to have no case to answer.
