There are reports Manchester City midfielder Seko Fofana has been racially abused in preseason action in Croatia.
The Daily Mail says Patrick Vieira walked his Manchester City players off the pitch in the middle of a game after Under-21 midfielder Fofana was allegedly the victim of racial abuse during a pre-season match in Croatia on Tuesday.
Vieira's Elite Development Side are currently on a 10-day pre-season training camp in Novigrad and they demanded that the match against HNK Rijeka was postponed after an opposing player allegedly racially insulted Fofana, a 19-year-old Frenchman.
Vieira entered the field to talk to the referee before taking his players off the pitch.
A club statement on Tuesday evening read: "Manchester City's EDS U21 game with HNK Rijeka has today been cancelled due to an alleged incident of racial abuse toward the Club's young midfielder, Seko Fofana by a member of the opposing team.
"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."
