Ryan Sessegnon thanks Hoffenheim team-mates for support after racist abuse

Ryan Sessegnon has thanked his Hoffenheim team-mates for their support after he revealed receiving racist abuse on social media.

Hoffenheim players raised their fists after Munas Dabbur scored during their 5-0 win over Slovan Liberec in the Europa League on Thursday.

Sessegnon, who is on loan with the German club from Tottenham, was on the bench and did not play in the game.

In reply, Spurs said "We're all with you, Ryan."

Sessegnon, who can play as a winger or left-back, posted an image of racist messages on his Instagram story on Monday.

The 20-year-old said he was "not even surprised any more" after receiving the racist abuse and described it as "unbelievable" and "disgusting".
