Burnley

<p>Burnley and Preston faced off just weeks after Osmajic is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/not-be-silent-man-utd-hannibal-mejbri-accuses-preston-milutin-osmajic-racially-abusing-burnley-complaint-lengthy-delay-championship-clash/bltbd61a582e1a9ab8d#cs234cdcb2d49e8f73" target="_blank">alleged to have racially abused </a>Mejbri, prompting the entire Clarets line-up to refuse to shake the Montenegro international's hand in the build up to the FA Cup clash. Osmajic smirked as he received the treatment from the Burnley players and the 25-year-old went on to taunt Burnley fans after putting Preston 2-0 up in the first half.</p><p></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Osmajic is alleged by Mejbri to have made a racist comment in Burnley's game against Preston in February, with the ex-Manchester United midfielder rushing to complain of the incident mid-way through the match. It is not the first controversy surrounding Osmajic this season after he was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/preston-north-end-milutin-osmajic-eight-game-ban-biting-liverpool-loanee-owen-beck-blackburn/blt7212cf3ba5206eaf" target="_blank">banned for eight matches</a> for biting an opponent in September.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Following the incident last month, Preston released a statement denying the claims of racism, saying: "Milutin Osmajic has strongly refuted the claims of a comment made towards Hannibal Mejbri in a post-match meeting with today's match officials. It followed Mejbri taking to social media to explain he "will not be silent" over the incident.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I will not be silent about what happened today. <br>I will always call out racism whenever I hear or see it. <br>That is the only way we change as a sport and a society.<br>I am a strong person but nobody should have to experience this disgusting abuse on the pitch.</p>— Hannibal Mejbri (@HannibalMejbri) <a href="https://twitter.com/HannibalMejbri/status/1890805736596209882?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 15, 2025</a></blockquote>
