- Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana was subjected to online racist abuse after receiving a red card during the club's 1-1 draw with Burnley last weekend.
- The UK Football Policing Unit is investigating the incident, alongside similar reports of abuse targeting Burnley's Hannibal Mejbri, Wolves' Tolu Arokodare, and Sunderland's Romaine Mundle.
- Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior stated that Fofana is a “tough guy” and “absolutely fine”, while condemning racism in football as something that “shouldn't exist”.
- Chelsea announced a record pre-tax loss of £355m for the 2024-25 period, the highest ever for an English club and second only to Barcelona in Europe.
- Despite the significant financial challenges, Rosenior affirmed his focus remains on strengthening the squad and achieving success on the pitch, rather than the club's financial figures.
