Algerian forward Islam Slimani said he was called a “dirty bladard” – a derogatory French term used to describe immigrants from North Africa – by Claremont captain Johann Gastian during Sunday’s 3-1 win over Brest.
The club said in a statement on Monday that it “cannot accept” such abuses and asked the Disciplinary Commission to “shed light” on the matter.
