England under-17 World Cup star Rhian Brewster

FIFA is investigating Rhian Brewster's claim that England teammate Morgan Gibbs-White was racially abused by a Spanish opponent during the U-17 World Cup final, football's world governing body has confirmed. Liverpool teenager Brewster made the allegation in a powerful interview with the Guardian last week. The Londoner told the newspaper he has either personally experienced racial abuse or witnessed it on a football pitch seven times, including five occasions in the last seven months. Two of those alleged incidents - all against overseas opposition - took place on England duty, with the most recent being the abuse directed at Gibbs-White in October's 5-2 victory over Spain in Kolkata.
