Chelsea yet to contact man racially abused on Paris Metro

The man who was pushed off a Paris Metro train by Chelsea football fans chanting a racist song said the incident is the club's "responsibility".

The man, identified only as 33-year-old Souleymane, said he not yet received any contact via his lawyer from the Premier League club after he was left “humiliated” on Tuesday evening.

His comments came as Chelsea tonight suspended another two people from its Stamford Bridge ground following investigations into the incident, taking the total number to five.

The club reiterated its promise to ban for life anyone proved to have been involved in the racist altercation and is helping police in the UK and Paris.

Speaking of his ordeal, Souleymane, who is black, told BBC Radio 5 Live Drive: “I felt truly wounded to the bottom of my heart that I really couldn’t believe it.

“We’re in 2015 aren’t we and we’re in France. We’re in a civilised country and when you are in a civilised country there are certain things you can’t do.

“For me, it’s a humiliation. I was humiliated in my country. I was humiliated in front of my family, humiliated in front of my mother and father.”

He added: “Of course it’s Chelsea’s responsibility. It’s their supporters.

“They (the fans) didn’t say Paris, they said Chelsea. Chelsea should call my lawyer. And they haven’t done that yet. It’s their supporters. The director general of PSG has called my lawyer but Chelsea haven’t contacted my lawyer.”

Footage posted online appeared to show the group shouting and gesturing at Souleymane before pushing him out of the carriage when he steps in.

The supporters were travelling to the Parc des Princes ground for Chelsea’s Champions League match against PSG, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

They also chanted at bemused onlookers “We’re racist and that’s the way we like it” and “Where were you in World War Two?”.

Chelsea have said they are "appalled" and have apologised to the victim, while manager Jose Mourinho said he was "ashamed" of the fans involved.

Scotland Yard said it takes such matters “very seriously” and is investigating whether the supporters involved should be issued with football banning orders.

The club had already suspended three men while its investigations continued, and on Friday evening announced that two more people would be barred.

“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,” a statement on the club website said.

“If it is deemed there is sufficient evidence of their involvement in the incident, the club will issue banning orders for life.”
