Khadija Shaw returns to Man City training after racist abuse

Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw has returned to training with Manchester City after being subjected to racist and misogynistic abuse following a Women’s Super League match against Arsenal. Shaw missed the subsequent League Cup semi-final for her mental wellbeing, prompting a strong response from City, who reported the abuse to the police and emphasized their support for her. City manager Gareth Taylor expressed his dismay over the unacceptable treatment Shaw faced and confirmed that the club is committed to helping her cope with the situation. In an ongoing investigation, the police are looking into the abusive messages, while the club has vowed to stand against discrimination in all forms. Shaw, who has scored 86 goals for City, has received widespread support from her teammates and the club, with Taylor stating that the level of care will be tailored to her needs. The incident highlights the growing issue of abuse faced by women in sports, paralleling previous incidents involving male players.
