Udinese’s Keinan Davis Alleges Racist Slur by Cagliari’s Alberto Dossena
Udinese said it will seek sports-justice action after Davis accused Dossena of racist abuse and teammates separated the players after the final whistle.
On Saturday, Udinese forward Keinan Davis accused Cagliari defender Alberto Dossena of calling him a "monkey" during their Serie A match, posting the allegation directly on Instagram.
Tensions escalated following Udinese's 2-0 victory when players from both teams were separated after the final whistle, prompting Udinese Calcio to express "utmost solidarity" with Davis.
Udinese teammate Nicolò Zaniolo alleged that Dossena also insulted his family, writing on Instagram that the defender "should be ashamed of himself" for the racist conduct.
Dossena denied the accusation on Instagram, calling it "defamatory," while Cagliari coach Fabio Pisacane and goalkeeper Elia Caprile backed him, stating they trust his character.
Udinese officials confirmed they will defend Davis and expect rapid resolution from sports justice bodies, maintaining full confidence in the investigation process to address the incident.
