Chelsea racism victim Soulemayne S turns down offer to go to Stamford Bridge

The French man who was racially abused by a group of Chelsea supporters in Paris this week says he is unlikely to accept the invitation to watch the London team and Paris Saint-Germain play the second leg next week.

The French-Mauritian was targeted by a group of men, believed to be Chelsea fans, on Tuesday night and was stopped from getting on a Paris Metro train. He also had racist chants directed at him.

Chelsea have so far suspended five people from Stamford Bridge as an investigation continues, while manager Jose Mourinho admitted the club felt "ashamed".

The Portuguese manager offered Soulemayne a space in the director's box for the return leg to prove that the club were not racist.

But speaking to French newspaper Le Parisien, Soulemayne said: "I appreciate Mr Mourinho's invitation, but I can't get my head around being in a stadium at the moment."
