Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta believes Bukayo Saka will quickly bounce back from the racist abuse he received after England’s Euro 2020 final defeat. Saka, 19, was targeted on social media after missing his penalty in the shootout at Wembley against Italy, while Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho also received abusive messages. Arteta told Sky Sports he had personally spoken to Saka after England’s Wembley heartbreak, saying: “Yes, I have.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson met with social media companies at Downing Street on Tuesday in a bid to improve how to erase the problem.
