Two more Chelsea fans suspended following Paris Metro incident

Chelsea announce that two more fans have been suspended following Tuesday's Paris Metro incident when a black man was allegedly racially abused.

Chelsea have announced that a further two supporters have been suspended from attending Stamford Bridge following Tuesday's incident at a Paris Metro station.

Five fans in total have been suspended by the Premier League outfit as part of an ongoing investigation by the club and the Metropolitan and Paris police.

Prior to Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League earlier this week, a group of Blues supporters were filmed shoving a black man off a Metro train and chanting, "we're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it".

A statement on the club's official website read: "Chelsea Football Club has suspended a further two people from Stamford Bridge as a result of ongoing investigations into the incident on the Paris Metro on Tuesday evening. This makes a total of five to date.

"If it is deemed there is sufficient evidence of their involvement in the incident, the club will issue banning orders for life. We are grateful to the many Chelsea supporters and others who have provided information."

Earlier today, the English club issued an apology, while manager Jose Mourinho admitted that he felt "ashamed" following the incident.
