Man who was 'racially abused' by Chelsea fans declines Stamford Bridge invite

The man who was allegedly racially abused by a group of Chelsea supporters has declined an invitation from the club to watch a game at Stamford Bridge.

Last week, Souleymane S was at the centre of a video which showed him being shoved off a train at a Paris metro station by a group of Chelsea fans who were heard chanting, "we're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it".

In response to the unsavoury scenes, Chelsea issued an apology to Souleymane S and invited him and his family to attend the home leg of the club's last-16 Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain on March 11.

However, the Frenchman, who suffered the alleged abuse prior to the Blues' 1-1 draw with PSG last Tuesday, has declined the invite from manager Jose Mourinho.

Souleymane S told Le Parisien: "I appreciate Mr Mourinho's invitation, but I can't get my head around being in a stadium at the moment."

The Metropolitan Police have identified three men in connection with the incident.
