Liverpool have called for an "urgent and thorough" investigation after their under-18s team left the pitch during two games when a player alleged he was racially abused in Germany.
The team walked off when the player said he was targeted during their opening match of the Bundesliga Cup youth tournament against Hoffenheim on Friday.
On Saturday they left the field in protest after the same player said he was abused during a game against Frankfurt. The match was abandoned.
"Liverpool FC can confirm that a member of our under-18s team reported he was racially abused by an opponent while playing in the Bundesliga Cup youth tournament at Schwabisch Hall in Germany on Friday," read a club statement.
