Chelsea victim "can't go to work" following racist abuse on Paris Metro

The man who was racially abused by a group of Chelsea fans at a Paris Metro station says that he cannot work due to the trauma he suffered.

The man who was allegedly racially abused by a group of Chelsea fans on the Paris Metro has revealed that he "can't go to work" due to the trauma of the situation.

Souleymane S was pushed off a train in France's capital and subjected to chants of, "we're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it", by a handful of Blues supporters three weeks ago.

The Frenchman was invited by the club to attend tonight's Champions League last-16 second leg against Paris Saint-Germain, but he has declined the offer.

"I still hear the voices of those people who pushed me because of the colour of my skin," Souleymane told RTL radio. "I can't go to work anymore. I live with racism but it's the first time I've had to go to a doctor to ask for pills to calm myself down."

Five Chelsea fans have been suspended from attending Stamford Bridge while the investigation is ongoing.
