Mikel Obi Deletes Twitter Account After Racial Abuse

Mikel has removed his profile from Twitter less than 24 hours after his mistake helped cost Chelsea victory in the opening match of their Champions League defence against Juventus.

Chelsea 'fans' had bombarded John Mikel Obi with abuse, and forced him off Twitter.

Fans don't do that to their own players, right?


However, the club admitted that they have informed the police after being made aware of the developments.

A statement read: "We've been made aware of racist tweets targeted at Mikel which are totally unacceptable, disgusting and abhorrent. We've informed the police and support taking the strongest possible action."
