Chelsea have suspended a further two people from Stamford Bridge as a result of investigations into the incident on the Paris Metro on Tuesday evening taking the number of those banned up to five.
A commuter, identified in media reports as French-Mauritian Souleymane S, was blocked from boarding a train by fans travelling to the Parc des Princes for the Champions League match against Paris St Germain, which finished 1-1.
Footage captured by a bystander appears to show Souleymane being pushed back on to the platform amid chants of 'we're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it'.
The club had already suspended three men while its investigations continued, and on Friday evening announced that two more people would be barred.
'Chelsea Football Club has suspended a further two people from Stamford Bridge as a result of ongoing investigations into the incident on the Paris Metro on Tuesday evening. This makes a total of five to date,' a statement on the club website said.
'If it is deemed there is sufficient evidence of their involvement in the incident, the club will issue banning orders for life.'
The club's investigation is being undertaken in conjunction with the Metropolitan and Paris police.
On Friday evening the Metropolitan police released images of three men they are keen to speak to following the incident in Paris.
