Three Chelsea fans have been turned away from a Europa League quarter-final after they allegedly sang a racist song about Mohamed Salah.
The fans were identified by Chelsea Football Club as appearing in a video which has been widely shared on social media.
The video appears to show them singing a racist song about the Liverpool forward.
In a statement, the club said: "Chelsea FC finds all forms of discriminatory behaviour abhorrent and where there is clear evidence of Chelsea season ticket holders or members involved in such behaviour, we will take the strongest possible action against them.
"Such individuals are an embarrassment to the vast majority of Chelsea supporters who won't tolerate them in their club."
