• Unnamed player accused of making monkey noises
• FA and Sheffield United have launched investigation
The unnamed Sheffield United Women player accused of making monkey noises at Tottenham Ladies defender Renée Hector faces being sacked by the club if allegations of racism are proved, the Guardian understands.
The Football Association’s integrity team has started an investigation into the alleged incident during Spurs’ 2-1 win on Sunday, and will speak to the match official and key witnesses over the coming days. Sheffield United are conducting their own investigation and, while not wanting to prejudice proceedings, are clear that such behaviour – if proven – is not tolerated.
