The Football Association has condemned the racist abuse of England’s players in Montenegro on Monday night.
UEFA has charged Montenegro with racist behaviour after Raheem Sterling, Danny Rose and Callum Hudson-Odoi were subjected to monkey chants during the Three Lions’ 5-1 victory in Podgorica.

Rose and Hudson-Odoi were subjected to racist abuse in Montenegro
An FA spokesperson said: “This is unacceptable at any level of the game and we welcome UEFA’s decision today to take disciplinary action.
“Our immediate focus is on supporting UEFA with their investigation and the players and staff involved.”

Following incidents of racist abuse at English grounds in recent months, the FA’s statement added that it recognised there was also work to be done at home.
“The issues we saw last night are not isolated to any specific country, and despite progress English football still has its own incidents of discrimination,” the statement said.
“Our experience is that by combining both sanctions and education, whilst working alongside campaigners such as Kick It Out, real progress can be made. But there remains much work to be done.

Sterling defied what he later called ‘racists’ on social media
“Football is a game for all and we must all take responsibility to work together and share our experiences and learnings to tackle discrimination in the game.”
Montenegro also face charges relating to crowd disturbances, the throwing of objects, setting off of fireworks and the blocking of stairways at the Gradski Stadion.
A missile was thrown at Sterling as he celebrated England’s fifth goal by pulling his ears out in reference to monkey chants aimed at his team-mates.

UEFA’s minimum sanction for racist behaviour is a partial stadium closure.
The abhorrent scenes marred what was an impressive display from Gareth Southgate’s men as they continued their perfect start to the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign.
Ross Barkley’s brace was complemented by goals from Michael Keane, Harry Kane and Sterling as the Three Lions overcame the hosts’ early opener.
