Trouble ahead: England fans and players could face abuse in Ukraine
The families of several black players, such as Theo Walcott, Joleon Lescott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, have no plans to go, citing concerns about possible racist abuse.
Oxlade-Chamberlain’s father, former England international Mark Chamberlain, told Sky Sports News: ‘There have been reports of racist taunts and threats so it’s just prudent for myself to keep away from it.’
