The player wouldn't return to training or matches until further notice.

The club said they don't condone violence of any kind, and had been made aware of the allegations on social media, but wouldn't comment until the facts were established.

The social media allegations have not been responded to by Mason.

The 20-year-old footballer, who made his debut for the club in March 2019, signed a four-year deal in February 2021.
