Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud has condemned the alleged racist chanting from supporters about Mohamed Salah prior to Thursday European League tie
| ||||||
Chelsea secured a 1-0 away victory against Slavia Prague in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday.
It was an important win for the Blues, but talks about the victory became overshadowed by an incident which occurred an hour before the clash, when Chelsea fans were filmed apparently singing an Islamophobic song about Liverpool star and former player Salah.
Giroud said after the match: "I think these people shouldn't belong to Chelsea.I think the club and everybody condemns these kind of things, and we are 100 per cent behind Mo Salah.
Both Chelsea and Liverpool have also condemned the incident, with Liverpool describing the chants as 'dangerous and disturbing' while the London club say three of the people in the video - which surfaced on social media - were prevented from entering the stadium by Chelsea security staff.
