A man has been arrested after Coventry midfielder Kasey Palmer alleged he had been racially abused in a Championship game at Sheffield Wednesday last weekend.
South Yorkshire Police said the man was arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence and released on bail.
The game at Hillsborough was halted last Saturday after Palmer alleged he had been racially abused by one of Wednesday's fans, with both clubs issuing a joint statement after the match.
A statement from South Yorkshire Police read: "A man has been arrested following a racially aggravated public order offence at the Sheffield Wednesday FC and Coventry City FC match last weekend [20 January].
"It is alleged that a Coventry City FC player was racially abused during the match.
"We are continuing to work closely with Sheffield Wednesday FC and Coventry City FC to investigate.
"We do not tolerate hate crime or disorder and anyone with information can report concerns to club officials and officers who will be present on the day. The man has since been released on police bail."
