Asked if he understood players reacting in that way, Chelsea midfielder Chalobah said: "Yes, to a certain extent."

"Everyone is equal - there should be a level of equality wherever you are, no matter what the colour of your skin is."

"I think for some people, it (racist abuse) is just hard to deal with, and that is probably why they walk off the pitch."

"But I think everyone should try to be like Cyrille and Garth - use it as motivation to push through."

Asked if he had had to deal with any racism on the pitch himself, the 18-year-old said: "I played in a game in France, where we were against Ukraine...[and I got called] a racist word."

"At the time I was pretty pleased with the way I dealt with it because I just carried on with the game, and after the game I went over to Blakey (England Under-19s boss Noel Blake) and told him exactly what was said, and I think the Football Association tried to deal with that."

"It is shocking because you don't really expect it, but it has definitely come a long way, and from the way things were before to the way things are now, you can say there has been a massive improvement."
