Udinese have called on Italian football authorities to act after their English striker Keinan Davis said he was subjected to racist abuse in Saturday’s 2-0 Serie A win at Cagliari.<\/b><\/p>\n
The incident was alleged to have happened in the closing stages of the match when the 28-year-old was involved in a physical confrontation with several players from the opposition.<\/p>\n
Davis, who joined Udinese from Aston Villa in 2023, later went on social media to accuse Cagliari defender Alberto Dossena of making racist remarks and “hope Serie A takes action”.<\/p>\n
Udinese offered their “full support” to the forward and described the verbal abuse as “disgraceful” and “despicable”.<\/p>\n
“Udinese Calcio hopes that the sports justice bodies, in whom we have the utmost confidence, will deal with the matter swiftly,” added the club in a statement.<\/p>\n
Cagliari said they condemned all forms of discrimination, but were “surprised and deeply disappointed” by the allegations and denied any racist language had been used.<\/p>\n
Davis, who also had loan spells at Nottingham Forest and Watford, has scored 10 goals in 26 Serie A appearances this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
