Arokodare and Mundle were two of four Premier League players who received racist abuse on social media last weekend, with Burnley's Hannibal Mejbri and Chelsea's Wesley Fofana being similarly targeted. The UK Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) is investigating the incidents and said it will "do everything possible to identify those responsible and bring them to justice". Police Scotland has also said it was investigating after Rangers players Emmanuel Fernandez and Djeidi Gassama shared screenshots of racist abuse aimed at them on their social media accounts after Sunday's 2-2 draw at Livingston. Edwards said Arokodare had trained this week and, despite being affected by the racist abuse, was "all right to play" in his side's home game against Aston Villa on Friday (20:00 GMT). "No one thing will stop racist behaviour overnight, but we'll continue working to protect our community from abuse and co-operate with police investigations."
