Croatian Football Federation to investigate Manchester City racism claims

The Croatian Football Federation will investigate claims that Manchester City's Seko Fofana was racially abused.

The Croatian Football Federation has confirmed that it is to investigate allegations that a Manchester City player was racially abused.

Youth coach Patrick Viera pulled his players out of the match against Rijeka earlier this week when Seko Fofana was allegedly targeted by an opposing player.

A statement from the organisation said: "Croatian Football Federation is in a process of gathering information regarding the alleged incident and if there are any decisions to be made we'll make it public on our website.

"CFF follows a strong 'no racism' policy so we take all accusations of racism very seriously. Fight against racism [and any sort of discrimination] is one of the key components of our president Davor Suker's programme and that is why we will have a good look into this matter."

Rijeka have denied the accusations.
