A 47-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to allegedly racially abusing Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo during the opening game of the 2025/26 Premier League season.
Mark Mogan, of Dovecot, Liverpool was charged with a Racially Aggravated Section 5 Public Order during the fixture that took place at Anfield on Friday August 15.
His trial is scheduled to take place on April 22 next year, with Semenyo expected to attend the proceedings, the court heard.
Mogan, who appeared in person, spoke only to confirm his name and address and enter his plea.
Mogan was released on bail on condition that he does not contact Semenyo directly or indirectly, or make reference to him on social media.
He was also banned from attending any regulated football grounds as part of his bail conditions, the court was told.

That is enough grounds for him not to join the Fools. He should go to whatever Manchester. I'm the sole person supporting both.
