Summary "We were appalled by what we saw": Club Spokesperson
LONDON (AFP) - Chelsea "apologised unreservedly" on Friday to the black Frenchman racially abused by some of their fans on the Paris Metro.
The commuter, identified as Souleymane S, a French-Mauritanian, was repeatedly prevented from boarding a train by Chelsea supporters travelling to the Parc des Princes for the Champions League match against Paris St Germain on Tuesday.
"I d like to make clear, on behalf of everyone at the club, our disgust at the incident. We were appalled by what we saw," a club spokesman said before manager Jose Mourinho began his weekly press conference.
He added: "The club would also like to apologise unreservedly to Souleymane for the behaviour of a small number of individuals and their unforgivable action towards him.
"We re writing to him to apologise and to invite him to come to a game as our guest."
Three men could face life bans from football after being suspended from attending Stamford Bridge by Chelsea as part of the ongoing investigation into the incident.
