Preston North End’s Montenegro forward Milutin Osmajic was charged by the FA on Monday for an alleged racist remark towards Burnley’s Tunisia midfielder Hannibal Mejbri last month.
Mejbri complained to the referee after Osmajic made the alleged racist comment during the 0-0 Championship (second-tier) draw between the two sides at Deepdale on February 15.
Preston said Osmajic strongly denies the allegation.
“It’s alleged that the forward acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words towards an opposing player…” the FA said in a statement announcing the charge.
The FA added it was further alleged that this constituted an “aggravated breach” as it included a reference to colour or race.
Preston acknowledged the charges and added that they would not be making further comment until the case has been concluded.
