FA supporting Wolves over alleged Hwang Hee-chan racist abuse in Como friendly
Hwang Hee-Chan

THE FA will help gather evidence from Wolves over alleged racist abuse directed at their player Hwang Hee Chan during a pre-season friendly against Italian side Como, the PA news agency reported today.

The Premier League club are in dialogue with the FA over the incident which occurred during a match in Marbella on Monday. The matter is outside of the FA’s jurisdiction, and it is understood any evidence gathered would be referred to the Italian football federation (FIGC).

Como issued a statement today outlining their version of events, saying the incident had been “blown out of proportion” after speaking to “the defender in question to understand what was said.”
