Leeds United defender Giuseppe Bellusci has been accused to making a racist remark to Norwich City striker Cameron Jerome.

The incident occurred in the first half of the 1-1 Championship draw between the two sides at Carrow Road last night, with Jerome instantly informing referee Mark Clattenburg, who stopped the game to speak to Jerome, while he also spoke to Leeds manager Darko Milanic.




Clattenburg took statements from both players after the game, while after the incident itself Bellusci was handed an official warning.

 


Norwich boss Neil Adams was quoted as saying by the BBC: "Cameron has alleged that a racist remark was made.

"I don't think he'd have reacted in the way he did if it hadn't happened.

"Mark came over to explain to myself and Darko exactly what had happened to put everybody in the picture, which I think was the right thing to do.

"He spoke to the players and representatives from each club at half-time and he'll be taking statements from the players involved.

"Mark will submit a report to the relevant authorities and it will be dealt with from there. He didn't take any action at the time. He merely relayed what Cameron had said. It must now go through the proper channels.

"Yes, Bellusci is the player who has been alleged to have made the remark. My concern was to speak to Cameron at the break to make sure his head was right", Adams added.
