Chelsea reportedly took the decision to remove a 'Rafa Out' banner from Stamford Bridge ahead of last night's Europa League draw with Sparta Prague.
Ground staff are thought to have taken the banner, which was targeted at interim manager Rafael Benitez, away from the stands before Chelsea secured progression into the last 16 of the Europa League with a 1-1 draw in West London.
"Chelsea have taken down the Rafa out banner at the bridge...There goes freedom of speech at the club!" Blues fan Max Clark tweeted, according to the Daily Mail.
Reports have claimed that a 'Come Home, Jose' banner was also taken down before the match.
