The Football Association (FA) said it will look into allegations that Preston North End forward Milutin Osmajic bit Blackburn Rovers defender Owen Beck during their Championship match on Sunday.

Blackburn Rovers are assisting the Football Association with their investigation into Milutin Osmajic’s alleged bite on Owen Beck, according to reports.

Preston North End forward Milutin Osmajic was accused of biting Blackburn defender Owen Beck as both sides ended a feisty Lancashire derby at Deepdale with 10 men. North End's Sam Greenwood was sent off three minutes before half-time for a crude challenge on Lewis Baker.

Before Matt Donohue sent Beck off, though, replays showed Osmajic shoving his face into the full back’s neck. Blackburn boss John Eustace said Beck was left with a ‘big mark’ - the incident has now been looked at as part of Sky Sports’ Monday segment: ‘Ref Watch’.

Blackburn Rovers head-coach John Eustace has had his say after an alleged biting incident involving Preston North End striker Milutin Osmajic and Rovers defender Owen Beck in the closing stages of the Championship clash between the two sides on Sunday.
