The International Federation of Professional Footballers (FIFPro) has ordered the Italian Football Federation to probe further into Sulley Muntari's racial abuse case.

Muntari has been suspended by the Disciplinary Commission for walking off during Cagliari-Pescara game due to racist insults,but FIFPro believes it was an unfair decission and has called for a better handling of the matter.

The incident caused huge controversy in Serie A and beyond, as the midfielder was booked by the referee for dissent. FIFPro however believes the yellow card should be rescinded.

The Ghana international then became angry and walked off the field, as the official refused to stop the game.

Below is a press release by the FIFPro;
