Chelsea has banned three fans and in search of three others after a video of them racially Mo Salah emerged.
Chelsea condemned the video showing what is claimed to be Blues fans in Prague calling Liverpool star Mohamed Salah “a bomber”.
The
Islamophobic slur attacks one of the Blues’ former players, after 1,000
fans travelled to attend their Europa League quarter-final clash
against Slavia Prague.
The Blues security team actively tried to
prevent the fans in the video from entering the Eden Stadion and turned
three of the six away, as they continue what they describe as a ‘zero
tolerance’ stance on racism.
They will look to ban their
supporters if they can identify them and establish for certain that it
happened in Prague ahead of Thursday’s match, as suspected.
“Chelsea
FC finds all forms of discriminatory behaviour abhorrent and where
there is clear evidence of Chelsea season ticket holders or members
involved in such behaviour, we will take the strongest possible action
against them,” a statement read.
“Such individuals are an embarrassment to the vast majority of Chelsea supporters who won’t tolerate them in their club.”
