Racist attack on Newcastle player: club contacted the police.

Contact with the police regarding racist abuse

According to The Sun: The football club Newcastle United has contacted the police regarding the racist abuse suffered by midfielder Joe Willock. An anonymous Instagram account attacked the former Arsenal player after the Magpies secured a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Willock, who is 26 years old, missed a great opportunity to score after coming on as a substitute in this game. After the match, he posted screenshots on social media showing a series of racist private messages he had received.

Willock expressed his outrage at the situation, noting that such actions are absolutely unacceptable.

The football community continues to face issues of racism, and this incident highlights the need for action to combat hate in sports. Both the club and the player, in their statements, call for proactive measures to ensure that such incidents do not occur again. This issue requires attention not only from football organizations but also from society as a whole.
