Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira will speak to Cheikhou Kouyate about his controversial support for Senegal team-mate Idrissa Gueye, who refused to wear rainbow colours for Paris Saint-Germain this week.
Palace midfielder Kouyate and Watford winger Ismaila Sarr appeared to back midfielder Gueye, a devout Muslim, who did not feature in PSG’s game against Montpellier for ‘personal reasons’. The PSG players wore special shirts to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.
The Instagram posts by Kouyate and Sarr sparked a backlash, with Palace contacted by fans and groups asking them to look into the matter.
