Burnley, Chelsea condemn racist abuse of Hannibal Mejbri, Wesley Fofana

"The Club continues to be unequivocal in its stance -- we have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination."

Fofana also shared screenshots of racist messages he had received.

"2026, it's still the same thing, nothing changes," he wrote. "These people are never punished. You create big campaigns against racism, but nobody actually does anything."

Chelsea said they would "work with the relevant authorities and platforms in identifying the perpetrators and take the strongest possible action."

"Chelsea Football Club is appalled and disgusted by vile online racist abuse directed at Wesley Fofana," the club said.

"The targeted racist abuse Wes has been subjected to following today's Premier League fixture against Burnley is abhorrent and will not be tolerated.

"Such behaviour is completely unacceptable and runs counter to the values of the game and everything we stand for as a club. There is no room for racism."

"We stand unequivocally with Wes. He has our full support, as do all our players who are too often forced to endure this hatred simply for doing their job."
