Jess Carter: England defender says she has had 'a lot of racial abuse' at Euro 2025.

England are working with police after defender Jess Carter revealed she has been the target of racist abuse during Euro 2025.

On Sunday the Lionesses said they would stop the anti-racism gesture of taking a knee before matches as it was "clear we and football need to find another way to tackle racism".

Carter added she would take a step back from social media.

The Football Association said it was "working with police to ensure those responsible for this hate crime are brought to justice".

"From the start of the tournament I have experienced a lot of racial abuse," said Carter, 27.

"While I feel every fan is entitled to their opinion on performance and result, I don't agree, or think, it's OK to target someone's appearance or race.

"As a result of this I will be taking a step back from social media and leaving it to a team to deal with."
