Chelsea racist abuse victim turns down invite from Jose Mourinho to watch Champions League tie at Stamford Bridge.


Souleymane S, the man who suffered racist abuse from Chelsea supporters as they denied him entry to a train on the Paris Metro has declined Jose Mourinho's invitation to Stamford Bridge, as police investigate a separate incident at St Pancras station.
Police have appealed for witnesses after reports of racist chanting at St Pancras by fans returning from France after Chelsea's 1-1 draw against Paris St Germain on Tuesday.
This second incident happened on Wednesday evening as the club were reacting with shock and disgust at the footage of the first, which showed a group of fans singing: 'We're racist and that's the way we like it' as they pushed Souleymane. 

'I appreciate Mr Mourinho's invitation, but I can't get my head around being in a stadium at the moment,' Souleymane told Le Parisien, after the Chelsea manager had offered him the chance to see the second leg of the Champions League tie on March 11, to prove what the west London club was really like.
Souleymane received a phone call from France's president Francois Hollande after the attack. PSG have been in touch and Chelsea have suspended five fans from Stamford Bridge pending further investigation.
