Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior said he would take his players off the pitch if no action were to be taken in the event of racism during a game.

Speaking in the aftermath of allegations made by Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior on Tuesday that he was racially abused by Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni during a Champions League game, Rosenior said he would not allow a match to continue if he “categorically heard” racist abuse.
