Police have released an image of a man they want to trace after a Birmingham City player reported being racially abused during a match.

Midfielder Juninho Bacuna said it happened during the side's 4-1 home win against Huddersfield Town on 3 October.

The pictured man, believed to be in his 40s, is shown wearing a cap and a distinctive dark green jumper with a white emblem on the side.

A man previously arrested was eliminated from inquiries, police said.
