Rabbi Matondo: Racist abuse social media accounts removed

Facebook has removed Instagram accounts that sent racist abuse at Stoke City's Wales winger Rabbi Matondo.

The abuse aimed at the 20-year-old came after a boycott of social media from many leading sports clubs and players over the issue of online abuse.

It is the second time in 2021 that Matondo has received such abuse.

In March Matondo and Swansea defender Ben Cabango were targeted while on Wales international duty, while Swansea's Yan Dhanda was also abused.

Both matters resulted in an investigation by South Wales Police (SWP).

Last weekend Swansea forward Morgan Whittaker was also a target of online racism, again prompting a complaint to SWP.
