Manchester City have released a club statement announcing that their under-21 pre-season friendly against Croatian side HNK Rijeka was abandoned over an alleged incident of racial abuse directed at midfielder Seko Fofana, 19.
The statement read: “Following an alleged incident in the latter stages of the first half of the game, being played in Novigrad, Croatia, a decision was taken by the management staff to withdraw the City team from the field of play and cancel the game.
“Club representatives in Croatia and in Manchester are liaising with officials, the match organisers and the Croatian Football Association to pursue this matter further.”
Atlético Madrid were fined £8,270 by Uefa in March after their fans racially abused Manchester City youth players in the Uefa Youth League.
