Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says Bukayo Saka's "strong character" will help him ignore the racist abuse he suffered after England's defeat in the Euro 2020 final. Saka endured vile racist taunts on social media after missing the penalty that sealed Italy's 3-2 victory over England in Sunday's final at Wembley.
Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho also received abusive messages after failing to convert from the penalty spot.
However, Arteta has spoken with Sakan and is convinced that the 19-year-old will not be affected.
"Yes, I have spoken. I think we all talked and texted him. He will be fine. He is a strong character. He has received a lot of love and support from world football, as he does not deserve what they have done to him", said Arteta.
