Chelsea promise to act against 'embarrassing' alleged racism in Prague

Chelsea have assured they will take "the strongest possible action" against any supporters guilty of racist abuse after a video appeared to show fans targeting Mohamed Salah.

Social media footage before Thursday's Europa League game at Slavia Prague suggested a small number of travelling fans were aiming racist chants at former player Salah, now at Liverpool.

Chelsea are set to face Liverpool on Sunday and the Stamford Bridge outfit promised to investigate an incident described as an "embarrassment".


"Such individuals are an embarrassment to the vast majority of Chelsea supporters who won't tolerate them in their club."

A statement from Liverpool read: "The video circulating online, showing vile discriminatory chants being aimed at one of our players, is dangerous and disturbing.







Anti-racism organisation Kick It Out posted the footage on Twitter alongside a short message: "It's not on the terraces, but it's still a disgrace.
