UEFA to hear McCarthy racism case

Blackburn striker Benni McCarthy’s allegation of being racially abused will be heard by UEFA at a hearing tomorrow.

European football’s governing body has instigated disciplinary proceedings against Wisla Krakow defender Nikola Mijailovic following the UEFA Cup tie in Poland.

UEFA’s control and disciplinary body will examine the case.

The charge is based on the complaint submitted by Blackburn, as well as the additional report forwarded by referee Stefan Johannesson.

Mijailovic and his club had until today to respond to the charge.
