Manchester City has expressed its support for Antoine Semenyo after the player faced further instances of racial abuse. The 26-year-old forward recently shared a screenshot on Instagram showcasing the racist comments he received, with the caption 'It's started again'. This incident is not isolated, as Semenyo previously reported being racially abused during a match against Liverpool at the start of the season while playing for Bournemouth.
The authorities arrested and charged a 47-year-old man, Mark Mogan, with a racially aggravated public order offense. A trial is set to take place on April 22. The Premier League has condemned the abuse, stating that racism has no place in football or society and will work with relevant parties to address the issue.
The FA has also offered its support, emphasizing the need for collective action to combat racism and ensure those responsible face severe consequences. Both organizations are committed to creating a hate-free environment for players and fans alike.
