Chelsea ace Eden Hazard says Raheem Sterling can count on his support after alleged racist abuse aimed at the Manchester City midfielder on Saturday.
Sterling called out the media in the aftermath.
“I support the player because, to be fair, Sterling is a fantastic player. I think it's under investigation, so we don't know what can happen," Chelsea's Belgian winger said.
“They (the abusers) are called fans but for me they're not fans. I think the proper Chelsea fans sing for Chelsea and just enjoy the game.
“I fully support Raheem and this type of racism can't be in the stadium anymore. If he has something to say he will say it. As a player if I'm in this situation I will say something.
“It happens sometimes in football, not just in England but everywhere, and it needs to stop."
