Selangor deny German's axing was racially motivated, Ifedayo defends club and fans

Selangor secretary-general Johan Kamal Hamidon has issued a short response to an accusation of racism made by its former player Antonio German.

In an interview with BBC that was published on Tuesday, the Grenada forward, who featured for the Red Giants for a month earlier this season, remarked that he was cut by the club in February due to racial concerns stemming from the fans.
