Controversy surrounds an alleged racist insult against former Super Eagles ace Joel Obi after Italian Serie B side Pisa denied the incident.
Obi’s club Chievo Verona claimed the midfielder was racially abused by Michele Marcone during the first half of their Serie B clash Tuesday.
However, Pisa have denied this incident.
Pisa said they “distance themselves” from Chievo’s claim, saying the alleged insult was not detected by match officials or microphones around the pitch.
“In addition, our player has confirmed that he did not address any insult to the opponent, let alone a racist one,” the club said.
