Callum Hudson-Odoi slams social media companies after the aggressive use of the monkey emoji is NOT considered a violation by websites such as Twitter as the Chelsea winger hits out at 'stupid' and 'idiotic' racial abuse

Callum Hudson-Odoi vented his anger at social media companies after it was revealed they do not believe the monkey emoji has racist connotations.

Sportsmail revealed on Thursday that Premier League clubs flagged several tweets to top-flight players with monkey emojis in them to Twitter last week but were stunned when the social media giants responded by saying they did not violate any rules.

Several Premier League players, including Marcus Rashford, Romaine Sawyers, Anthony Martial and Southampton's Alexandre Jankewitz reported racial abuse last week and Chelsea winger Hudson-Odoi is stunned by Twitter's stance on the matter.
