Liverpool have called for an investigation after one of their players was targeted for alleged racist abuse during the Bundesliga Cup in Germany this weekend
Liverpool have called for an investigation after their under-18 side twice walked off the pitch in protest at alleged racist abuse towards one of their players during a pre-season youth tournament in Germany. A young Reds team helmed by U18s boss Marc Bridge-Wilkinson have been taking part in the Bundesliga Cup competition in the city of Schwabisch Hall this weekend.
'In a further incident, the same player was the target of abuse during a fixture in the tournament today. Again, the player alerted his team-mates and coaching staff and our management team opted to leave the pitch once more. 'We are proud of our player for his prompt actions in reporting the incident and the maturity of his response. He and any of his team-mates affected are being supported by the Academy safeguarding team.
