Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun has delved deeper into the alleged racial abuse he suffered at the hands of his own supporters.
The Israel international has accused a number of fans of calling him a 'little Jew' when he came on as a substitute against former club Liverpool this season.
"I was warming up, in readiness for the substitution, when I started getting it from one or two fans," Benayoun said in an interview in Israel, according to the Daily Mail.
"There were threatening words like 'little so and so Jew' and other stuff that was worse. I had never encountered anything like that before in all my career. I have played in Spain and the Premier League, and all over the world with the Israel national team, but I've never had that."
Chelsea, along with the police, are investigating the claims.
