FIFA PROBE RACE ABUSE

RHIAN BREWSTER’S claim that England team-mate Morgan GibbsWhite was racially abused by a Spanish opponent during the Under-17 World Cup final is being investigated by FIFA. Liverpool teenager Brewster (below) alleges he has either experienced racial abuse or witnessed it on a football pitch seven times, including five occasions in the last seven months. Two alleged incidents took place on England duty, with the most recent being the abuse directed at Gibbs-White in October’s 5-2 victory over Spain in Kolkata. FIFA “is now analysing and gathering evidence”.
