Chelsea label fans who abused Mo Salah ’embarrassment’ to supporters

Chelsea to take strongest action possible

Chelsea have responded after a video emerged on social media of fans singing racially abusive songs about Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah.

The Blues have had several problems with their own fans during the current campaign.

One of the biggest problems came when fans supposedly sang anti-Semitic chants during their Europa League clash with MOL Vidi back in December.

While UEFA did not charge Chelsea due to a lack of sufficient evidence, the Blues had already released a statement condemning their own supporters just hours after the game.

The second offence came in the same month when Raheem Sterling was seemingly racially abused during a game at Stamford Bridge.

Speaking following the game, Sterling claimed: “I just had to laugh because I don’t expect no better.”

Manager Maurizio Sarri also came out to slam the individuals involved, labelling the abuse as ‘disgusting’.

Now, the club have had to condemn their fans yet again following racist abuse of Mohamed Salah.

‘Such individuals are an embarrassment to the vast majority of Chelsea supporters who won’t tolerate them in their club.”

That is after a video appeared on social media of Chelsea fans in Prague chanting ‘Salah is a bomber’. 

The disgusting video has now been met with a statement by Chelsea, labelling individuals as ‘an embarrassment to the vast majority of Chelsea supporters who won’t tolerate them in their club.’

Their statement read:

‘Chelsea FC finds all forms of discriminatory behaviour abhorrent and where there is clear evidence of Chelsea season ticket holders or members involved in such behaviour, we will take the strongest possible action against them. 

‘Such individuals are an embarrassment to the vast majority of Chelsea supporters who won’t tolerate them in their club.’

Sky Sports later confirmed that Chelsea had denied entry to fans who were suspected of the abusive chants.
