Cambridge to investigate alleged racist abuse towards Akinfenwa

The striker highlighted the alleged abuse on Twitter, saying "Good 3pts 2day, great support again. It’s a shame that a small group of Cambridge fans focus on colour rather than the game KickOutRacism".

Cambridgeshire Police, along with Cambridge United Football Club, are both investigating the incident.

"Officers are investigating an allegation of racial abuse at the fixture between Cambridge United and Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday, November 19," an official statement from Cambridgeshire Police read.

Det Ch Insp Steve Kerridge said: "We are working closely with Cambridge United and Wycombe Wanderers to identify the people involved. The behaviour that has been alleged against a small minority is at odds with the core community and family-orientated principles of the club.

"It is totally incompatible with the spirit of tolerance and diversity for which the city of Cambridge is known".

Meanwhile, Cambridge chief executive, Jez George, told the 'Cambridge News': "We’re in dialogue with Wycombe and we’re investigating the situation because these are serious allegations".
