"We have a slight update on the situation, in the sense that the FA has now completed its thorough investigation. They sanctioned the player with a six-game ban. That ban has been ongoing whilst we've been playing, so effectively she will be out of the running to be included this weekend, but after that she is available for selection."
"The situation is the situation. The team and the club have acted in the appropriate way. We've supported the FA in this investigation. I will say, it's been dragged on a little bit. I think that's been frustrating for everyone involved, particularly Rafa. But we're happy now that it's completed, we're happy now that we have some actual detail on what it looks like, and all of us can now move on."
Rafaela Borggrafe, a Liverpool goalkeeper, was given a six-game ban by the Football Association after being found to have made a racist comment referencing skin colour. Borggrafe has served five of those matches and accepted the sanction. The FA ordered enrolment on an education programme following an investigation into language that was overheard by staff and teammates while the squad prepared for a photograph. The ban was applied during ongoing matches, making the goalkeeper unavailable this weekend but available for selection once the suspension concludes. The club supported the FA investigation and noted frustration at the duration of the process.
