John Obi Mikel deleted his twitter account “Mikel12Official” less than 24 hours after his Wednesday’s mistake in the Champions league cost Chelsea a draw at home to Juventus.
The Club has admitted that they have informed the police after being aware of the new development.
A statement read: “We’ve been made aware of racist tweets targeted at Mikel which are totally unacceptable, disgusting and abhorrent.
“We’ve informed the police and support taking the strongest possible action.”
Mikel refused to hide from his mistake after Wednesday night’s 2-2 Group E draw against Juve.
The 25-year-old gave the ball away 10 minutes from time before he and his team-mates failed to prevent Claudio Marchisio playing Fabio Quagliarella into space for the equaliser.
Mikel said afterwards: “If I want to make up an excuse, I can. But, for me, I gave the ball away. I put my hands up, we move on.
“I’m sorry about the mistake, but there are no excuses.”
