If we say it wasn’t racism, then what is it? Just telling my player that he stinks? Can we say things like that when we’re just there to play football? Isn’t that demeaning, humiliating, hurtful?</em>“ said the Le Havre manager post-match.</p><p>Donnum has denied any racist intent. The LFP have now confirmed that the incident will be investigated. The Toulouse player has been summoned by the disciplinary committee, with a hearing now scheduled for 26th November.
