The Rossoneri wing-back angrily left the field
of play during a pre-season meeting with
Sassuolo following a tirade of insults from the
stands
Tuesday's Trofeo Tim encounter between AC Milan and
Sassuolo was marred by controversy as Kevin Constant
walked off the pitch following racial abuse from the
crowd.
Sassuolo recorded a 2-1 victory to win the friendly
tournament, but much of the post-match talk was
about the incident involving Constant rather than
Milan's surprising defeat.
The Guinea international was hit with a torrent of insults
from supporters after 34 minutes of play and fired the
ball into the stands before angrily storming off, with
Milan skipper Daniele Bonera attempting to calm down
his team-mate.
Referee Andrea Gervasoni consequently ordered the
stadium announcer to send out a message warning the
crowd that the game would be suspended if any other
incidents occurred.
Tuesday's event comes after a number of racist
incidents to affect Milan during the 2012-13 campaign.
Kevin-Prince Boateng stormed off in a friendly against
Pro Patria earlier this year before Inter fans levelled
abuse at former striker Mario Balotelli when the sides
met in Serie A.
