Recent incidents have again highlighted the problem of racism in the game.

England defender Danny Rose has hit out at the punishments for racism in football, admitting he has “had enough” of the current problems in the game and “can’t wait” for his career to end.

Here, Press Association Sport takes a look back at the recent incidents which have brought the issue to a head.

Banana skin thrown at Aubameyang

Chelsea lodged a formal complaint with UEFA over monkey chants aimed at 18-year-old winger Callum Hudson-Odoi from a small group of home supporters during the closing stages of the 5-0 Europa League win away to Dynamo Kiev on March 14. Governing body UEFA later confirmed an investigation had been opened, which could eventually lead to disciplinary action against the Ukrainian club.

Jones handed five-match ban

Sheffield United terminated the contract of Sophie Jones by mutual agreement after the forward was banned for five matches for racially abusing Tottenham’s Renee Hector. Defender Hector alleged she “received some monkey noises from an opposition player” during a Women’s Championship game in January, leading to Jones being charged by the Football Association. Jones denied the claim and maintained her innocence, but an independent regulatory commission found the charge proven. Jones announced her retirement from football in the wake of the punishment.

Young Lions abused in Podgorica

Juventus’ 19-year-old striker Moise Kean was racially abused by Cagliari supporters during an away match on Tuesday and responded by celebrating a goal in his side’s 2-0 win by spreading his arms wide in defiant response to the monkey chants coming from the stands behind the goal. His team-mate Blaise Matuidi signalled he would be ready to walk off over the abuse, but Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri and defender Leonardo Bonucci both said in post-match interviews Kean should take some of the blame for the reaction to his celebration. Their comments drew widespread criticism, although Bonucci said his comments had been “misunderstood”.
