Manchester City has expressed its support for forward Antoine Semenyo after he faced further instances of racist abuse. The 26-year-old Ghana international recently shared a screenshot of the abusive comment on his Instagram story, stating 'It's started again'. This incident follows a previous occurrence at the start of the season during a match against Liverpool, where Semenyo reported being racially abused by a spectator, leading to the arrest and charging of a 47-year-old man. The Premier League and the FA have both condemned the abuse, emphasizing their commitment to eradicating racism from the sport and society as a whole.
They have pledged to work closely with clubs, law enforcement, and social media companies to address the issue and ensure that those found guilty face severe consequences, including potential custodial sentences and football banning orders.
