Chelsea have issued a lifetime ban to the fan who racially abused Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling during a Premier League match between the clubs at Stamford Bridge in December, the club have announced.
The club have also handed temporary bans to five other fans in connection to the incident following a club investigation, with the length of these bans ranging from one and two years.
Chelsea banned four fans shortly after the incident after a video circulated on social media which appeared to show a Chelsea fan directing a racial slur at Sterling as the England international retrieved the ball from the byline.
