The sickening barrage of online racist abuse that footballers are subjected to has sadly continued with Kyle Walker the latest recipient.
The Manchester City defender was racially abused via a private message on Instagram, going public with it just hours after his side's 1-0 Carabao Cup final win over Tottenham.
Sharing the vile message he received, Walker revealed the contents of it via his Instagram story before writing 'When is this going to stop?!' and tagging Instagram directly.
The message, from an account with three followers and zero posts, wrote 'Hello you unlucky sole you have fallen victim to one of my racial ratios', before continuing with racial slurs - including labelling Walker a 'c***'.
