Eni Aluko has revealed she has been the subject of racist abuse and her family have also been targeted after her controversial opinion on the government's furlough scheme generated ire online.
The former England and Chelsea star apologised earlier this week after posting her thoughts about the national job retention scheme on Twitter.
But Aluko has once again returned to social media to reveal that, since her divisive remarks, she has received abuse - with vile comments also directed towards her family members.
The 33-year-old's initial posts were greeted with dismay from fans and old team-mates, after Reading became the first club in women's football to furlough their players on April 28.
