League Two club Forest Green Rovers say one of their players was the victim of alleged homophobic abuse during Saturday's 2-1 win over Tranmere Rovers. The Gloucestershire team say they will support an FA investigation into the incident, while Tranmere say that their player strongly denies the allegation. A Forest Green statement read: "Forest Green Rovers are disappointed to hear of alleged homophobic abuse aimed at one of our players during Saturday's game with Tranmere Rovers. Tranmere issued a statement which read: "(We) are aware of the allegation made against one of our players by an opposition player during last weekend's match at Forest Green Rovers. "Whilst the club has a zero-tolerance policy to any form of homophobic abuse, given the strong denial of the incident we will await the outcome of any FA investigation before commenting further."
