Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana says "stupidity and cruelty can no longer hide" and that it is "time for things to change" after being racially abused on social media.
On Monday, Fofana, 24, shared to his Instagram story screenshots of six racist messages sent to him following Chelsea's 1-0 defeat by Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.
Arsenal felt Fofana was fortunate to remain on the pitch after committing several fouls at the Emirates Stadium.
"2025, stupidity and cruelty can no longer hide. It's not just football; it's not just a 'game' when some believe that their skin colour makes them superior to others," posted on Instagram later on Monday.
