'Please don’t let it be a black player that misses'

“It goes to penalties, my first thought is ‘please don’t let it be a black player that misses this penalty'.”

Presenter and ex-footballer Jermaine Jenas told 5 Live's Nihal Arthanayake that he knows black players will receive racist comments online if they don't play well.

"You look at what Marcus Rashford is going through, you look at Raheem Sterling and Kyle Walker - the abuse they were getting after the Champions League final the other day," he added.

"It's ridiculous we're in this place but it's a representation of our society."
