FIFA start investigation into Pachuca player amid Antonio Rudiger racism allegations
Real Madrid saw their Club World Cup victory over Pachuca overshadowed by allegations of racism made by Antonio Rudiger, and FIFA have now taken the next step in their efforts to discover the truth of the situation. UEFA looking into Gustavo Cabral as part of investigation During the match in Charlotte, Rudiger claimed that Gustavo Cabral had called him a 'black s***'. These allegations were denied by the Pachuca player, but the FIFA protocol on these matters was activated. An investigation was started, and now it has been reported by COPE (via Sport), that Cabral is being looked into by world football's governing body. Image via Paul Ellis/AFP Advertisement FIFA are determined to get to the bottom of things, which is why their investigation has progressed in the last 24 hours. It has not been ruled out that witnesses, such as those involved in the match for either side, will be called to testify. But for now, no definitive decision has been made. Real Madrid are standing behind Rudiger in this matter, whom they believe wholeheartedly. And it's not the first time that they have had to do so with one of their players, with superstar winger Vinicius Junior having been subjected to racist abuse on several occasions over the last few years. It is not clear when a resolution will come, with FIFA determined to ensure that everything is looked into before they make their decision. It is unlikely that it will happen in the coming days, and there is no reason for anything to be rushed given that Pachuca have already been knocked out of the Club World Cup, so any punishment that comes the way of Cabral would not have an effect on the ongoing tournament. For now, the investigation that FIFA are undertaking is ongoing, and will remain that way until a definitive outcome is reached.

After nervous start Bangladesh reaches 71-2 at lunch in the 2nd test against Sri Lanka
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — After a nervous start, Bangladesh reached 71 for two wickets at lunch on the opening day of the second cricket test against Sri Lanka on Wednesday. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and elected to bat first at the Singhalese Sports Club. The first test played in Galle ended in a draw. Opening batter Anamul Haque failed to capitalize on a reprieve when Sri Lankan wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis dropped him off fast bowler Asitha Fernando. He was out by the same bowler after a few deliveries without scoring with Sri Lanka's total on five. Mominul Haque and Shadman Islam shared a promising partnership of 38 runs but Sri Lankan captain Dhananjaya de Silva removed Mominul (21), caught by substitute fielder Pawan Rathnayake. Islam was batting on 43 with Shanto on seven at the lunch break. Allrounder Sonal Dinusha, who is 24, made his test debut for Sri Lanka after the retirement of senior allrounder Angelo Mathews after the first test. Dinusha has scored 2,478 runs playing in 48 first-class matches and averaging more than 40 runs per innings. He has also taken 99 first-class wickets. Fast bowler Milan Rathnayake was left out of the lineup because of injury and left-arm paceman Vishwa Fernando takes his place. Bangladesh allrounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who missed the first test due to an injury, returned in the place of Jaker Ali. ___ AP cricket:
