Liverpool say investigation has their full support
Goalkeeper understood to have denied allegations
The Football Association has launched a racism investigation after the Liverpool goalkeeper Rafaela Borggräfe allegedly made reference to skin colour in a comment overheard by some staff and teammates.
The alleged incident is understood to have been heard while Liverpool were preparing to take a squad photograph, and the club are believed to have promptly looked into the matter internally.
The player’s representatives were contacted by the Guardian on Wednesday and no response has yet been received. However, Borggräfe is understood to have denied the allegations during the course of the ongoing proceedings.
