Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has called for his players to ignore social media after defender Wesley Fofana was targeted with racist abuse following the 1-1 draw against Burnley. The incident occurred after Chelsea's Premier League match at Stamford Bridge, where Fofana faced online harassment from anonymous accounts.

The abuse comes amid growing concerns about racism in football, with several high-profile players speaking out about their experiences. Rosenior emphasized the importance of supporting affected players and maintaining focus on the pitch rather than engaging with online trolls. The club has reportedly been working with social media platforms to address the issue.

Fofana, who joined Chelsea from Leicester City in 2022, has been a key figure in the team's defense this season. The French international's experience highlights the ongoing challenge of combating racism in football, despite increased awareness and efforts by clubs and governing bodies to tackle discrimination.
