An unnamed Chelsea player, understood to be Callum Hudson-Odoi, was the target of the abuse.A statement from the Stamford Bridge club read: “We can confirm a report of racist abuse directed at one of our players in the final minutes of the match in Kiev from a small section of home supporters. We wholeheartedly condemn such abhorrent behaviour.“The matter was reported to the referee at the final whistle and the chairman and club secretary spoke to the UEFA match delegate immediately after the match. We expect UEFA to conduct a fulsome investigation and we will provide full cooperation.” During the last two minutes of the match, winger Hudson-Odoi, 18, brought the incident – understood to have been monkey chants from a small group of ‘ultras’ home supporters in the corner of the end Chelsea were attacking – to the attention of team-mate Cesar Azpilicueta.Shortly after the final whistle, defender Azpilicueta went up to the referee to complain about the abuse.
