Manchester City Women's star Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw has withdrawn from their squad for Thursday's League Cup semi-final against Arsenal after she was sent racist and misogynistic messages at the weekend.
Shaw, 28, is City's record goalscorer having netted 86 times since joining in 2021, while she is the current top scorer in the WSL with nine strikes in 11 matches.
However, in the aftermath of their 4-3 defeat by the Gunners on Sunday, Shaw was subjected to vile abuse, with the club confirming in a statement that it had reported the matter to the relevant authorities.
