FA investigates alleged racial abuse claims by Burnley midfielder Hannibal Mejbri

News summary

The Football Association is investigating allegations of racial abuse directed at Burnley midfielder Hannibal Mejbri during a recent Championship match against Preston. Mejbri reported the incident involving Preston's Milutin Osmajic to the referee during the game, claiming he was subjected to a racist remark that left him visibly distressed. In response, Burnley expressed their support for Mejbri and confirmed that the matter had been reported to officials both during and after the match.
