FA to investigate biting allegation

The Football Association (FA) is investigating allegations that Preston North End forward Milutin Osmajic bit Blackburn Rovers defender Owen Beck during a Championship match that ended in a goalless draw. The incident occurred after Beck was sent off for kicking out at an opponent, with Beck reportedly showing the referee bite marks on his neck and claiming, 'he bit me'. Blackburn manager John Eustace confirmed the presence of a significant bite mark and expressed the team's anger and disappointment over the situation. Preston manager Paul Heckingbottom condemned the act of biting, stating that there is no place for such behavior in football. Should the FA find sufficient evidence, Osmajic may face a lengthy ban, drawing parallels to Luis Suárez's 10-match suspension in 2013 for a similar incident. The investigation underscores the seriousness of player conduct in the sport.
