The Argentinian striker had denied calling Mansfield Town defender Krystian Pearce a 'n*****' during a pre-season friendly.

During his trial the striker, who has played for the Championship side since 2015,"swore on his son's life" he did not racially abuse the Barbados international.

Andrew Conboy, prosecuting, said while opening the case against the forward:"Krystian Pearce will give evidence describing the defendant's attitude as worsening throughout the game and about 80 minutes into the game an incident sparked a reaction from the defendant. Mansfield Town manager David Flitcroft told the court he felt he had to walk on the pitch to pull Pearce away from Forestieri after being informed of a"racist incident" by a fourth official."When I went on Krystian told me what had been said. That's when I knew I had to take him off the pitch.
