ST.PETERSBURG, July 24. /TASS/. The Russian Football Union (RFU) has prepared a response to the FIFA request to provide details of last week’s incident involving FC Ufa midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong, a RFU official said on Friday.

Frimpong earlier complained he was subjected to monkey chants as Ufa played 2-2 with Spartak in an opening match of the Russian football championship.
