Inter's Acerbi leaves Italy camp after racist abuse claims

FRANCESCO ACERBI HAS left Italy’s training camp ahead of two friendlies in the United States after reports he will be investigated for alleged racial abuse of Napoli defender Juan Jesus.

Roma’s central defender Gianluca Mancini replaces Acerbi, who is set to be questioned by the FIGC’s disciplinary authorities following Jesus’ claim he used a racist insult during Inter’s 1-1 draw with Napoli on Sunday night. “He apologised because he realised that he had gone too far… what happens on the pitch, stays on the pitch,” Jesus said to DAZN.

“From what Acerbi tells me there was a disagreement on the field but he didn’t say anything racist,” Pastorello said on Monday afternoon.Serie A told AFP that the regular report from the division’s “sporting judge” Gerardo Mastrandrea will be released on Tuesday.
