Berlin (dpa) - After the initiation of preliminary proceedings against Florian Huebner, the control committee of the German Football Association also announced investigations against his club colleague from 1. FC Union Berlin, Cedric Teuchert.

There is a suspicion that "Teuchert could have violated the requirements of the DFB legal and procedural rules during the Bundesliga game against Bayer Leverkusen last Friday (January 15) with two pronouncements," said the DFB committee on Monday evening.

The control committee has asked both professionals to comment.

After their evaluation, as well as other materials, "the further progress of the proceedings will be decided," the statement said.

Racism allegations are investigated after the Bundesliga match Union Berlin against Bayer Leverkusen on Friday evening (1-0).

"There is a suspicion that the Berlin player Florian Huebner could have racially insulted his Leverkusen opponent Nadiem Amiri, whose parents come from Afghanistan," the DFB announced on Saturday.

Teuchert scored the winning goal shortly before the end.

Amiri has already accepted an apology from Hübner.

Despite this, Union manager Oliver Ruhnert rejected the allegations.

"He did not say so," said Ruhnert on Saturday.

Bayer Leverkusen's sports director Rudi Völler does not want to deal with the issue any further.

“My basic attitude is that what is said on the pitch stays on the pitch.

As for Nadiem, it was done for me with the Berlin player's apology, ”Völler told the“ kicker ”.
