Chelsea have promised to take the ‘strongest possible action’ against those who racially abused forward Tammy Abraham on social media in the wake of his decisive penalty shootout miss in the UFEA Super Cup against Liverpool this week.
Abraham’s missed spot-kick saw Liverpool lift the trophy in Istanbul, but the 21-year-old home-grown starlet would not have been counting on the vile racism directed his way afterwards.
“We are disgusted with the abhorrent posts we have seen on social media. Chelsea FC finds all forms of discriminatory behaviour unacceptable,” a club spokesperson is quoted saying by the Daily Mail in response to the torrent of online abuse.
