Inter Milan have already held a meeting with Francesco Acerbi to discuss an alleged racism incident that took place against Napoli.
This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. The broadcaster report that the club’s position on the situation is now awaited.
Acerbi is at the centre of an incident of alleged racial abuse towards Napoli defender Juan Jesus during Sundauy evening’s Serie A match.
Currently, there is significant uncertainty around the Italian international’s situation.
Acerbi has denied that he used racist language towards Jesus. Meanwhile, the Brazilian responded by insisting that the Inter defender had indeed used a racial slur.
At the moment, the authorities have yet to determine what happened between the two players.
But today, investigators with the Prosecutors’ Office of the Italian FA began looking into the incident.
