Players have been asked to send evidence of racist online abuse to the Professional Footballers’ Association to demonstrate to governing bodies the severity of the issue.

Following Friday’s 24-hour social media boycott by professional footballers, the PFA wants continued player support and has set up an email address to allow union members to report racism.

The PFA is preparing to take its anti-racism message to social media sites, including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, and is in the process of arranging meetings for next month.

According to the PFA, more than 90 million people were reached by the first stage of the #Enough campaign, with David Beckham, Eden Hazard and Dele Alli among those joining last week’s social media boycott.
