Milutin Osmajic: Preston forward charged by FA over alleged bite
Preston North End forward Milutin Osmajic has been charged by the Football Association with violent conduct after allegedly biting Blackburn Rovers defender Owen Beck.
Beck, who is on loan from Liverpool, was sent off in the closing stages of Sunday’s goalless Lancashire derby for kicking out at Preston’s Duane Holmes.
A melee followed, with Beck, 22, furiously protesting to referee Matthew Donohue that he had been bitten by Osmajic, who received a yellow card.
Television replays appeared to show 25-year-old Osmajic had bitten Beck on his upper back.
Osmajic has until Monday, 30 September to provide a response, the FA said., external
Luis Suarez, then of Liverpool, received a 10-match ban in 2013 for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic.
Blackburn manager John Eustace told BBC Radio Lancashire: “Owen’s got a big bite mark on the back of his neck and it’s a shame the referee didn’t see that.”
