Chelsea are waiting to find out whether they will face punishment from the Football Association after their supporters chanted antisemitic abuse during yesterday’s Premier League match against Leicester City.
Fans used a song about the team’s new striker, Alvaro Morata, to target rivals Tottenham Hotspur, a club with a large Jewish following.
Chelsea were quick to condemn the chanting, with head of communications Steve Atkins saying: “The language in that song is not acceptable at all."
He added: "We've spoken to Alvaro after the game and he does not want to be connected to that song in any way and both the player and the club request that the supporters stop singing that song with immediate effect."
