Willian dreads checking mobile

ARSENAL star Willian admits he is sometimes too scared to look at his phone after suffering racist abuse on social media.

But the Brazil winger will put his trust in football’s authorities to deal with any issues against Slavia Prague, who are currently embroiled in a racism storm.

Liverpool stars Trent Alexander-arnold and Naby Keita are the latest players to become victims of racism on social media.

Willian (inset) has shared the abusive messages sent to him on Instagram and said: “Am I afraid to look at my phone? Yes. Sometimes. We are human. I want to understand who these people think they are, to speak like that to us.” Slavia’s Ondrej Kudela serves a one-match ban tonight while UEFA investigates allegations he racially abused Rangers star Glen Kamara, who says he has been subjected to racist abuse online every day since last month’s incident.
