Sarri condemns 'disgusting' Sterling abuse

Maurizio Sarri condemns the alleged racist abuse of Raheem Sterling by Chelsea supporters but wants the club's main focus to be on Thursday's clash with Vidi.

The Blues visit Budapest this week for their final Europa League group match, having already secured qualification to the last 32 in top spot.

It will be Chelsea's first game since their 2-0 victory over Manchester City at Stamford Bridge last Saturday, during which Sterling was allegedly the target of racist shouts from some fans in the home section.

Chelsea banned four individuals from attending their matches pending further investigations into the incident, and Sarri, although keen to express his contempt for any form of discrimination, wants to concentrate on football and not the future behaviour of supporters.
