Hazard backs Sterling following alleged racial abuse
Eden Hazard has offered public support to Raheem Sterling after the Manchester City forward was allegedly racially abused at Chelsea during a Premier League game.
Sterling was berated by a section of the Stamford Bridge crowd during Chelsea's 2-0 defeat of the Premier League champions, with the club subsequently suspending four people from attending matches pending further investigations.
The Metropolitan Police also launched an investigation into whether Sterling was racially abused by spectators and Hazard has backed the England international.
"The only thing I can say is I support the player. Sterling is a fantastic player," Hazard told Sky Sports.
