Police investigate "racist abuse" of Rotherham United player

A force spokeswoman said it received reports of abuse posted on social media earlier this week.

The comments are understood to have been posted on Facebook and relate to on-loan Chelsea player Izzy Brown, following the club’s 2-1 defeat at Burton Albion on Saturday.

There were also reports of racial abuse at the game itself. 

The spokeswoman said enquiries were ongoing.
