Spanish authorities are recommending a Real Oviedo fan to be fined €4,000 ($4,625) for allegedly directing racist abuse at Barcelona forward Marcus Rashford.

The government’s anti-violence commission said in a statement on Thursday that during Barcelona’s 3-1 league win at Real Oviedo on Sept. 25, an Oviedo fan was heard making a racial slur in Spanish at Rashford.

“La Liga detected the images on social media and filed a complaint with the National Police,” the statement said.

“Subsequently, analysis of footage from the stadium’s Organizational Control Unit (UCO) cameras allowed for the identification of the alleged perpetrator. The processing of this proposal will be contingent upon the final decisions made in the criminal proceedings.”

The authorities are yet to confirm when a final decision will be taken.

Rashford, 27, is currently on a season-long loan at Barcelona from Manchester United.

The England forward has suffered racist abuse throughout his career.

In 2021, a man was jailed in England for racially abusing Rashford on social media after the striker had missed a penalty in England’s Euro 2020 final shoot-out defeat.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to action Thursday night after missing two games with a hamstring injury, and his team’s slim playoff chances depended on him returning to his MVP form against the Miami Dolphins.

The Ravens started the season 1-5, and since the first NFL postseason in 1933, only four of 358 teams — which amounts to 1.1% — made the playoffs after starting 1-5 or worse, according to ESPN Research. But the Ravens are hopeful the return of Jackson and a wide-open AFC North will help them become the fifth team to achieve the feat.

Tyler Huntley played in place of Jackson and helped the Ravens beat the Chicago Bears last week.

The Dolphins, meanwhile, also are coming off a win as their victory over the Atlanta Falcons snapped a three-game losing streak.

Stay with this file as Ravens reporter Jamison Hensley and Dolphins reporter Marcel Louis-Jacques provide all of the highlights and key plays Thursday night.

Hirving “Chucky” Lozano‘s exile from San Diego FC‘s squad will end this weekend but the Mexico forward will not go straight back into the club’s starting lineup, head coach Mikey Varas said Thursday.

Lozano has been absent from San Diego’s last two matches, including its first-ever playoff game against the Portland Timbers on Sunday, after an internal incident.

– Chucky Lozano axed for San Diego’s MLS playoff Game 1 win
– LAFC’s Son second to Messi on MLS salary list
– Why all 16 playoff teams will (and won’t) win MLS Cup

While the club has not commented on the exact nature of the offense, The Athletic reported that Lozano was involved in a verbal altercation earlier this month after being substituted at halftime against the Houston Dynamo.

Following the report, Lozano issued an apology on social media.

Varas said after a 2-1 home victory in Game 1 of the first-round series with Portland that Lozano was in line for a return as long as continued to show commitment in training. And the coach has now confirmed plans to reintegrate the former PSV Eindhoven and Napoli winger for Game 2 in Portland on Sunday.

“Based on everything that we’ve seen, he’ll be traveling to Portland and he’ll be coming off the bench for us,” Varas told reporters.

Asked what Lozano had shown in training, Varas responded: “Just that he wants to be a part of the group, it’s the most important thing, [showing] through your actions that you want to be part of the group.”

Lozano was signed as San Diego’s first designated player last year and is the fifth-highest earner in MLS, with annual guaranteed compensation of $6 million.

In his first year in MLS, Lozano has nine goals and 10 assists across 27 appearances as San Diego took the top seed in the Western Conference. Varas, a finalist for Coach of the Year, helped San Diego set MLS records for the most wins (19) and most points (63) recorded by an expansion team.

Sunday will mark the third straight weekend that San Diego and Portland have met after also facing off on the final day of the regular season. San Diego has beaten Portland in all three of their matches this season.
