Chelsea have condemned racial abuse directed towards forward Lauren James following Sunday\u2019s Women\u2019s Super League clash with Arsenal.<\/p>\n

England international James was at the centre of controversy during the game after appearing to stamp on Arsenal midfielder Lia Walti.<\/p>\n

James was shown a yellow card after the incident in the 70th minute at the Emirates Stadium and was substituted by manager Emma Hayes soon after.<\/p>\n

Chelsea, the WSL champions, were trailing 3-1 at the time and went on to lose 4-1.<\/p>\n

A statement from Chelsea read: \u201cChelsea Football Club condemns the online abuse directed towards Lauren James following Sunday\u2019s Barclays Women\u2019s Super League fixture against Arsenal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club stands strongly against any form of abuse and discriminatory behaviour. Discrimination has no place at Chelsea Football Club or in any of our communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will take action against any individual that we can identify. We stand with you, Lauren.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those sentiments have also been echoed by the Football Association.<\/p>\n

A post on X, formerly Twitter, from the England national team account read: \u201cWe stand alongside you LJ. Online abuse and discriminatory behaviour has no place in football. This abhorrent behaviour must have consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n
