Jurgen Klopp has called for the ChelseaFC fans who racially abused Mohamed Salah to be given lifetime bans and branded their actions ‘disgusting’. IOLSport
Liverpool and Chelsea have worked closely together since footage appeared online on Thursday of six men in a Prague bar singing about Salah, a devout Muslim, being ‘a bomber’.Chelsea have vowed to take the strongest possible action and Klopp, Liverpool’s manager, welcomed their tough stance.‘We should not see it as a Chelsea thing or a Liverpool thing. It’s another sign that something is going wrong a little bit out there at the moment.
Klopp would not indicate how Salah, a former Chelsea player, felt about the incident but he gave his own views, which followed a strongly worded statement from his employers on Thursday.‘All kinds of racism are just that some people think they are worth more, more valuable than others. That’s the biggest misunderstanding in the world out there. They should not be allowed to be part of the football community again.
Liverpool host Chelsea at Anfield tomorrow on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy. At the request of the bereaved families, there will be a minute’s silence before kick-off.
