Liverpool goalkeeper Rafaela Borggrafe has been handed a six-match ban by the FA after an investigation found she made a racist comment, coach Gareth Taylor said on Friday, adding that the player has already served five games of her ban.
British media reported in September that the FA had launched an investigation into Borggrafe over allegations of using discriminatory language against a teammate, who was not named.
«We have a small update on the situation in that the FA has now completed their thorough investigation. They have imposed a six-match ban on the player,» Taylor told reporters ahead of Sunday’s home match against Tottenham Hotspur in the Women’s Super League.

“That ban has been in place for as long as we have been playing, so in fact she is not eligible to participate this weekend, but after that she is available for selection.
“We’re happy now that it’s done… we have some concrete details about what it looks like, and we can all move forward now.”
Borggrafe, 25, joined Liverpool in July and made three WSL appearances for the bottom side.
