Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has again been racially abused by some of the London club’s fans.
The lanky forward was on the end of vile attacks earlier this season following a penalty miss in Chelsea’s UEFA Super Cup defeat to Liverpool.
Abraham revealed that the abuse left his mum in tears after fans attacked him for missing a crucial penalty in the shootout.
Following a shock 3-0 defeat by Chelsea at Sheffield United, Abraham has received yet more horrible abuse.
A number of fans – many with Chelsea-related avatars and usernames – branded the England striker ‘Apebraham’ on social media.
Thankfully, it appears Twitter took swift action with many of the accounts, deleting the tweets and banning the accounts by the time this article was published.
However, a search of the term shows that some references to the word remain on the site.
Speaking back in September, Abraham said: “I remember speaking to my mum, she was emotional, she was in tears.
Meanwhile, the Premier League have been blasted and accused of a “shameful” lack of action to increase their diversity.
