  • Fabregas apparently exchanged a racist remark with Kanoute, who reacted violently.



    Fabregas said: "I talked by phone with Kanoute and we've clarified what happened yesterday. We both apologized and closed the matter.



    "I can proudly say that after many years in football, I always maintained the best relationships with my team-mates who came from different backgrounds, races, religions and nationalities.



    "No one has ever accused me of being racist or bigoted in all my years of playing in the game."
