Preston forward Milutin Osmajic handed nine-match ban for racial abuse
Osmajic received a nine-match ban and a £21,000 fine for racist abuse, with the Football Association citing an aggravated breach of conduct during a February Championship match.
- Earlier this year, Preston North End's Milutin Osmajic received a nine-match suspension after an Independent Regulatory Commission found the allegations proven.
- During the derby, Burnley's Hannibal Mejbri alleged racial abuse by Milutin Osmajic at Deepdale in February of this year, leading to a brief suspension of play.
- Osmajic denies the charge and has pleaded his innocence; this is his second suspension in England after a 21,000-pound fine and a nine-match ban in the 2024/25 season.
- Preston North End said it was `extremely disappointed`, and the sanction includes a £21,000 fine plus a mandatory education course.
- Officials noted the ruling used a civil standard and that the Regulatory Commission will publish written reasons in due course, applying the `Balance of Probabilities` standard.
