Chelsea have announced the suspension of two more fans over the widely reported racist actions of a group of Blues supporters in Paris.
Manager Jose Mourinho admitted the club were "ashamed" after video footage emerged of fans racially abusing a black man on the Paris Metro ahead of Tuesday night’s Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
A commuter, identified in media reports as French-Mauritian Souleymane S, was blocked from boarding a train by fans travelling to the Parc des Princes for the game, which finished 1-1.
Footage captured by a bystander appears to show Souleymane being pushed back on to the platform amid chants of "we're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it".
The club had already suspended three men while its investigations continued, and on Friday evening announced that two more people would be barred.
"Chelsea Football Club has suspended a further two people from Stamford Bridge as a result of ongoing investigations into the incident on the Paris Metro on Tuesday evening. This makes a total of five to date," a statement on the club website said.
"If it is deemed there is sufficient evidence of their involvement in the incident, the club will issue banning orders for life."
