Vinicius Jr breaks down in tears when asked about racism he faces in football
  • Preston North End player Milutin Osmajic has received a nine-match ban from the Football Association.
  • The ban stems from allegations that Osmajic made racist comments to Burnley’s Hannibal Mejbri during a Sky Bet Championship match last season in February.
  • An independent regulatory commission found the allegations proven on a “Balance of Probabilities”, despite Osmajic consistently denying the charges.

  • Alongside the suspension, Osmajic was fined £21,000 and mandated to attend an education course.
