Chelsea have made a formal complaint to European football’s governing body over racist abuse aimed at one of their players during last weeks Europa League defeat of Dynamo Kiev.
The Blues won 5-0 in the Ukraine to book their place in the competition’s quarter-finals, though the final stages of the match were marred by alleged racist chants from home supporters.

An unnamed Chelsea player, understood to be Callum Hudson-Odoi, was the target of the abuse.
A statement from the Stamford Bridge club read: “We can confirm a report of racist abuse directed at one of our players in the final minutes of the match in Kiev from a small section of home supporters. We wholeheartedly condemn such abhorrent behaviour.
“The matter was reported to the referee at the final whistle and the chairman and club secretary spoke to the UEFA match delegate immediately after the match. We expect UEFA to conduct a fulsome investigation and we will provide full cooperation.”

Shortly after the final whistle, defender Azpilicueta went up to the referee to complain about the abuse.
