Souleymane Sylla, Commuter Abused on Paris Metro, to Watch PSG vs. Chelsea

Souleymane Sylla, the man who was prevented from boarding a Paris Metro train by Chelsea fans in February 2015, has been invited to attend the UEFA Champions League round-of-16 tie between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.

PSG invited French-Mauritian Sylla to the Parc des Princes for the last-16 first-leg fixture, according to the Press Association (h/t the Guardian) on Tuesday, almost exactly a year after he was subject to racist abuse by supporters of Premier League giants Chelsea.
