Chris Wreh Refuses Play After Racist Abuse

Tamworth striker Chris Wreh has made himself unavailable for selection following racist abuse he received online after his team’s FA Cup defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. Wreh expressed disappointment with the club's muted response, stating that he received minimal support and that the club preferred to handle the matter internally rather than publicly addressing the abuse. He shared a screenshot of the racist message he received, which included derogatory language blaming him for a lost bet. While he acknowledged support from his manager and fans, Wreh emphasized the need for the club to take a stronger public stance against racism. He believes that keeping such incidents 'in-house' prevents proper action and awareness of ongoing racial issues in sports. The situation has drawn attention to the broader problem of racism in football, prompting Wreh to speak out about his experiences.
