Mother calls in the police after accusing her Asian son’s youth football team of racism… because the coach kept substituting him

• Mother claims her son was taken off and substituted on race grounds
• Boy, 9, has played for Knowle Juniors for two years
• The club said boy was not the only player to be subbed
• Knowle Juniors: ‘This is a football, not racial, issue’

  The police and FA are investigating a youth football team over claims managers and coaches repeatedly subbed a nine-year-old boy because he is Asian.
  

  Fehnez Khan, of Solihull, claims her son was taken off and substituted on race grounds during a match while playing for Knowle Juniors.

  The Birmingham FA is investigating the claims, which have been strenuously denied by the club, established in 1926.
